Biography of Emily Browning

Australian actress and model Emily Browning gained fame in 2004 when she played one of the main roles in the film "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events". At the time of the film's release, she was only 16 years old, but at such a young age, she knew that she wanted to pursue a career in acting. Emily was born on December 7, 1988, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia to parents Andrew Browning and Shelley Browning. Later on, Andrew and Shelley became parents to two boys - Matthew and Nicholas.

In 2006, Emily graduated from Eltham High School, located near Melbourne. By that time, Browning had already appeared in 13 projects, starting her acting career at the age of 9. Her debut role came in 1998 in the TV drama "Thunderstone". This was followed by series such as "High Flyers" (1999) and "Blue Heelers" (2000-2002), where Browning appeared in a limited number of episodes. From 2001 to 2003, Emily appeared in both lesser-known projects like "Halifax f.p: Playing God" (2001), "Darkness Falls" (2003), and "After the Deluge" (2003), as well as films and series that gained recognition from audiences, such as "Blonde" (2001), "The Man Who Sued God" (2001), "Ghost Ship" (2002), and "The Kelly Gang" (2003).

The real breakthrough awaited Browning in 2004 when she starred in the film "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events", which earned her two Australian Film Institute awards for "Best Young Actress" and "Best International Actress". In 2005, Emily did not appear on the big or small screens. The success of "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events" did not immediately make her popular in Hollywood, so she returned to Australia and continued to act. In 2006, she could be seen in the Australian film "Stranded", and in 2008, she added another American film to her resume, the horror movie "The Uninvited". From there, her career in Hollywood started to rise.

In 2011, Browning had two notable works - "Sucker Punch" and "Sleeping Beauty", in which she played the lead roles. In "Sucker Punch", directed by Zack Snyder, known for films like "300" (2007) and "Watchmen" (2009), the actress demonstrated not only her acting talent but also her fighting skills. In the drama "Sleeping Beauty", she dared to bare it all on camera, with many erotic scenes where Emily appeared completely naked. Her challenging role in "Sleeping Beauty" led to numerous enthusiastic reviews from film experts, who praised her deep talent as a dramatic actress. She continued to appear in both Australian and American films from year to year. From 2012 to 2017, audiences could see her in movies such as "Magic Magic" (2013), "God Help the Girl" (2014), "Pompeii" (2014), "Legend" (2015), "American Gods" (2017), and others.

One of her most notable projects is the TV series "American Gods", based on the famous book by Neil Gaiman. The show became one of the most unusual television newcomers of the year, making Ricky Whittle, who played the lead role, a top star, and solidifying Emily Browning's star status as she portrayed two characters - Laura Moon, the wife of the main character, and the enigmatic Irishwoman Essie MacGowan. So far, the talented Australian actress has yet to receive significant awards, but they are undoubtedly ahead of her.

In 2004, Emily tried her hand at voice acting, lending her voice to the character of Violet Baudelaire in the game "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events", which was based on the film of the same name. In 2011, she revealed another talent to the world - singing. Browning recorded three songs that were included in the soundtrack of "Sucker Punch" - a duet with singer Yoav titled "Where Is My Mind", the song "Asleep", and a cover of the legendary composition "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)". The new endeavor was so enjoyable for her that she decided not to stop there and went on to record music for her other films, such as "Magic Magic" (5 songs, one of which is a duet) and "God Help the Girl" (11 songs, including 4 duets). Emily also expressed her love for music in other ways, appearing in music videos for the songs "No Matter What You Say" (2012) by the band Imperial Teen and "Take Shelter" (2015) by Years & Years.

Despite her musical pursuits, Browning is still primarily known as an actress, but she demonstrates true professionalism in the field of music as well. Currently, her planned projects only include the second season of "American Gods", set to be released in 2018. Like most other film and television stars, Emily Browning's personal life is of public interest. She has been linked to many romantic relationships with her co-stars, but her most well-known relationship was with Max Irons, the son of legendary actor Jeremy Irons. Emily and Max began dating in 2011 but broke up in the summer of 2012 after being together for a year. According to official information, their busy filming schedules prevented them from spending enough time together. Interestingly, Irons and Browning starred together in the science fiction film "The Host" even though they were no longer in a relationship. Currently, the heart of the Australian beauty is free.
