I definitely grew up poor. It's interesting to me to see thrifting becoming mainstream and popular when that is how we had to get all of our clothes growing up.

Now, definitely am not financially able to move out on my own but I'm getting there. I'm definitely in a very privilege position by being able to live at home, even though I hate it, and not having a lot of bills and being able to save some money.

This is intense OP! Good work!

jdnightghobhadi January 4 2020, 21:45:52 UTC

Thank you! I gave up two weeks of my life pouring over every source I could think of and find!

OP this is fantastic! Wonderful job!
Tom Hardy is an actor I grew to hate because of his general abusiveness, finding out he grew up well off, but tries to act like this working class actor annoys me to no end.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge attended RADA and judging by her wiki had a very posh upbringing. Her father was named in the Panama Papers as was Emma Watson.

Thank you bb! I was so worried almost that - as much as I love ONTD we can be a BRUTAL MESS sometimes - people were going to find something wrong with it!

Oh, Tom Hardy! DON'T get me started on him!

I had no idea about Phoebe. Damn. I like her work, but don't follow her too closely. :( Like, Alan Rickman went to RADA too but he had to fight to get a scholarship (don't know how he paid for the audition fee, though). His mother who was single was unbelievably poor.

she gave an interview at some point last year where she said the she didn't believe privilege had helped her get where she was which was disappointing if unsurprising

Oh my... Yikes. I have to go find that. I'll edit that as a Bonus for Part 2.
