Early life and education

Gemma Chan was born at Guy's Hospital in London, England.[3] Her father was an engineer who grew up in Hong Kong and her mother was a pharmacist and raised in Greenock, Scotland, after her parents emigrated from Hong Kong.[3][4]

Raised in Locksbottom in the London Borough of Bromley,[5] Chan attended Newstead Wood School for Girls in Orpington, London and went on to study law at Worcester College, Oxford.[6] Following graduation, Chan gained a training contract offer as a graduate at the law firm Slaughter and May,[7][6] but turned it down to study at the Drama Centre London and pursue an acting career.[3]

Career

2006–2013: Early career

Chan at the 2013 BAFTA Awards

Chan made her professional debut in Horror Channel's 2006 miniseries When Evil Calls.[8][9] She was a competitor on the first series of the reality series Project Catwalk.[10] Chan made her stage debut in the British premiere of Bertolt Brecht's last play, Turandot, at the Hampstead Theatre, London, in 2008.[11] Chan appeared in the autumn 2009 special of the BBC's Doctor Who, titled "The Waters of Mars", playing geologist Mia Bennett.[12] The episode later won a Hugo Award.[13][14] In the same year, Chan starred in Exam (2009) which premiered at the Edinburgh International Film Festival to mixed reviews.[15][16] The following year, Chan appeared in two episodes in Channel 4's The IT Crowd.[17][18]

In 2010, she got one of her first breakout roles,[19] as a heavily accented Chinese immigrant appearing in The Blind Banker, a first series episode of BBC's Sherlock. The episode was criticized partly because of its orientalist clichés.[19] Chan's next releases, Pimp, (2010) and Shanghai (2010), were panned by critics, while Submarine premiered at the 35th Toronto International Film Festival to positive reviews.[20][21] Chan was cast as a series regular in the final series of Secret Diary of a Call Girl, as the rival of Billie Piper's character.[22] The series aired on ITV2 in 2011.[23]

Later that year, she appeared in Channel 4's Fresh Meat.[24] A supporter of human rights, she made a film for Amnesty International to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.[6] In 2012, Chan was a regular in series two of Sky Living's supernatural drama Bedlam[25] where she portrayed Kiera.[26] She appeared in True Love, a five-part semi-improvised television series produced by Working Title for BBC One.[27] Chan met her co-stars on set, and had free rein to "flesh out" her character during the written scenarios.[3] In June 2013, Chan performed in the British premiere of Yellow Face by American playwright David Henry Hwang at The Park Theatre, London, and returned for its 2014 revival at the Royal National Theatre.[28] While promoting the play, Chan spoke about her struggles to get cast in non Chinese-related productions and period dramas due to her ethnicity.[29]

In November 2013, Chan performed in the world premiere of Our Ajax by Timberlake Wertenbaker at the Southwark Playhouse, London. Wertenbaker chose her to play the war goddess Athena after she saw her performance in Yellow Face.[30] Michael Billington of The Guardian described her performance as "beautifully svelte omniscience".[31] Later that year, she starred in BBC One crime drama Shetland, playing young archaeologist Hattie James.[32][33] Chan guest-starred in the BBC's Death in Paradise and Channel 4 romantic drama Dates.[34] Chan appeared in The Double (2013), which premiered at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival to critical success.[35][36]

2014–2019: Breakthrough

Chan at the 2014 BIFA Awards

Chan appeared in the action-thriller Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014), which met mixed reception but financial success.[37][38] In 2015 she portrayed Ruth in the West End revival of Harold Pinter's domestic drama The Homecoming directed by Jamie Lloyd. She received rave reviews with Michael Billington of The Guardian writing, that "Chan shows, with great skill...a coolly inscrutable Ruth".[39] The Evening Standard described Chan's performance as "cool" and "elegant".[40] Chan said of the experience "There is a lot of ambiguity with [my] character and in [Pinter's] text, but as you work on it you have to make choices and decide what your truth is... A lot of people think she's controversial and ask why she behaves the way she behaves, and it's been really interesting trying to work that out."[41]

That same year she portrayed the protagonist's girlfriend, Chen-Lin, in French comedy-drama Belles Familles (2015), which was released at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival.[42] [43] She lent her voice to BBC's animated miniseries Watership Down in 2018.[44] Chan starred as the anthropomorphic robot Anita/Mia in Humans, an AMC/Channel 4 science-fiction drama, from 2015 to 2018.[45][46] The A.V. Club wrote that Chan "anchors the series", with her performance "awakening in ways both subtle and overt ... to reflect every new emotion."[47] Chan voiced robot Quintessa in Transformers: The Last Knight (2017), which was panned by critics.[48] Chan starred in action-thriller Stratton (2017) as the titular character's "smart-girl" colleague, Aggie.[49] In 2018, Chan joined Andrea Riseborough, Jane Horrocks, Jaime Winstone, and Laura Carmichael to star in a film produced by ActionAid, encouraging the British public to support girls at risk of sexual violence.[50]

Chan at the 2019 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Also in 2018, Chan co-starred as Astrid Leong-Teo in the film Crazy Rich Asians.[51][52] Originally asked to portray the lead, Chan preferred the "more intriguing" role of Astrid.[53] She first heard about the novel Crazy Rich Asians in a text message from her sister, read it on holiday, and "fell in love with Astrid".[54] On her role, Chan stated that "what you see with Astrid is not necessarily what you get. There are layers to her ... [she] seemingly has it all together.[55] The film became the highest-grossing romantic comedy of the decade and received critical acclaim for its cast, visuals and on-screen representation.[56][57] The Hollywood Reporter lauded Chan as "a radiant presence who lights up her every scene".[58]

That same year, she featured in the short film titled Leading Lady Parts in support of the Time's Up movement.[59] Chan appeared as Petronella in London Fields (2018), which was a box-office bomb.[60] Chan portrayed Elizabeth Hardwick in Josie Rourke's directorial debut, historical drama Mary Queen of Scots (2018), which premiered at the AFI Fest.[61] Chan's casting "provoked controversy among internet trolls", as her character had been a white woman.[62] Chan responded that "if John Wayne can play Genghis Khan, I can play Bess of Hardwick" and remarked that "art should reflect life now."[62] Chan appeared in Captain Marvel (2019) in a supporting role as Minn-Erva, a sniper who is part of the Kree Starforce.[63] The role required an extensive amount of prosthetic makeup, described as "four layers of airbrush paint" that took four hours to apply.[64] The film had the sixth-biggest opening of all time to critical success.[65][66] That same year, she was one of fifteen women selected to appear on the cover of the September 2019 issue of British Vogue, by guest editor Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.[67]

2020–present

Chan at the premiere of Don't Worry Darling in 2022

In 2020 Chan starred alongside Meryl Streep in Steven Soderbergh's comedy Let Them All Talk.[68] She portrayed Karen, a literary agent who has a "maybe-romance" with her client's nephew.[69] The film premiered on HBO Max to positive reception.[70] That same year, Chan was the fifteenth recipient of the Women In Film Max Mara Face of the Future award, given for her "distinguished acting achievements" and "personal embodiment of timeless style and grace".[71] Chan voiced the warrior princess Namaari, the antagonist of the Disney animated film Raya and the Last Dragon, which premiered in March 2021.[72] The film was received positively by critics.[73] That May, she briefly produced Hold Still, Vincent, a podcast about the 1982 murder of Vincent Chin.[74] It was subsequently pulled from distribution by the producing team after it was revealed that the podcast's production company did not consult with Chin's estate during the project.[75] November 2021 saw the release of the Marvel Studios film Eternals, in which she starred as Sersi, a member of the titular race. This was her second role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Captain Marvel (2019).[76]
