A young actress from Epsom could be destined for Hollywood after already racking up a list of successful box office hits and rapping up her first Universal lead role.

Amelia Crouch, 13, a student at Rosebery Girls School, will see her face on the big screen again as the ‘young Lizzie’ in Kick-Ass scribe Jane Goldman’s thriller ‘The Limehouse Golem’ on September 1.

Deemed ‘exceptionally entertaining’ and awarded four stars by the Evening Standard and causing a ‘juicy and suspenseful’ reaction from the Guardian - who also voted the film four stars, Amelia will star alongside Bill Nighy, Olivia Cooke and Eddie Marsan in the writer’s Victorian adaptation.

Amelia, who started acting at stagecoach in Epsom, said: “It is always so mind blowing to meet all these people and it is always such a great experience.

“Acting in films is amazing and I love all the sets and the scenes and it is a great learning curve for me.”

The actress secured her first debut at six-years-old in academy award-winner Andrew Lloyd Webber’s West End Palladium production of the Wizard of Oz before breezing through her first film audition for Hammer Horror flick ‘The Women in Black 2 – Angel of death’ at nine-years-old.

“My brother did a film first and then mum took us to a London agent [Curtis Brown] and I was really nervous as it was my first film interview but I had to concentrate on the things I had to prepare.

“I felt very relieved after and knew I had done my best but then I got called back with the last few girls and we had to meet the director and producer.

“Then we had to do a really long workshop which was like three hours to see who was right for each character.”

Since landing her first cinema hit, Amelia has stared alongside some mega A-list names including Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter in Disney’s Alice Through the Looking Glass and Chris Hemsworth and Jessica Chastain in Universal’s feature film The Huntsman Winter’s War.

Amelia said: “I got to meet Chris and he was so lovely but it was crazy because I really liked him in Thor and so it was mind-blowing and I couldn’t believe it was real but he said 'hi' and started chatting to me.

“I was also in the same scene as Jessica but we didn’t get to meet because she was in hair and make up a lot.

“I didn’t go to that premiere but I did get to go to the Alice premiere but sadly I didn’t get to meet Johnny Depp there or on set but I did meet Mia and Anne Hathaway and Helen and they are all really lovely.

“I don’t actually really like watching myself on the screen though because it’s really weird.”

With a role in the ‘Last Dragon slayer’ which aired on Sky 1 on Christmas Day last year, ‘The Limehouse Golem’ hitting the screens in September and her biggest role to date in Universal’s feature film ‘Extinction’ being released in January 2018 Amelia’s acting career isn’t slowing down.

Amelia said: “My favourite film I think was Extinction which I have just finished filming for.

“We spent two months in Serbia and I had the child main part and we had to do all this running, screaming and crying – also the costumes were amazing.

“I prefer acting in films because it is so much more nurturing and it’s like a big family and you get to really know people.

“Also it is easier if you mess up because you can just re-do the scene whereas on stage it’s all live.

“I want to keep going and definitely have a career in acting because it’s so enjoyable.

“I would love to be in a film with Natalie Portman but I would love to be in any Marvel film or Star Wars – that would be amazing.”

Amelia’s parents have encouraged her all the way and ensured that her school work is kept up-to-scratch along with keeping her company on set.

Rachel Crouch, 41, Amelia’s mother, said: “I am so proud or her, she works so hard so she thoroughly deserves it – she really listens and always puts in so much time and effort.

“Whenever I see her on screen it is always amazing and I always cry its surreal.”

“We manage really well - there are always tutors on set with us and my dad is a tutor so he helps her catch up on anything extra but the school are really good anyway.”

With strict child working laws it comes down to Amelia’s parents to make sure she is not overworked.

Mrs Crouch said: “It’s not hard being on set but it is just long hours and you have to be on the ball and always know about timings because the child licensing laws are really strict so sometimes you have to make that tough decision on whether to tell the director she has to stop acting or because it’s the last time they can shoot in a location letting them go a little longer.

“We split going on set with her as a companion between me, my husband and her grandad.

“When she was in Serbia it was for nine weeks so we had to split that between all of us because it wasn’t possible for one of us just to do it.

“It’s great being on set though and they are always good to us.
