A girl from Chipping Norton with a "rare and exceptional talent" has been picked up by two Hollywood agents.

Seven-year-old Thea Evans has been noticed by the Emerging Talent team at CESD Agency, headed by Domina Holbeck and Sloane Fitzgerald.

Her standout performance in 'Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey 2' grabbed the attention of industry publication 'The Hollywood Reporter' and other film critics.

Thea has also impressed directors in her commercial roles for Nintendo, Honda and McDonalds.

Award-winning director Paul Mignot said: "I can confidently say that Thea possesses a rare and exceptional talent that is hard to find.

"She was like a little Stradivarius violin - delicate yet powerful.

"In my 20 years of experience in directing commercials, I have rarely encountered a talent as unique."

Thea, who has been acting for three years, has seen her career flourish following appearances in award winning short films and a number of TV adverts in 2022/23.

She has worked internationally and is currently balancing her acting commitments with her school life at Great Rollright C of E Primary.

Headteacher Michelle Hastings said: "Life is about chasing your dreams.

"Well done Thea for managing to balance your acting and school life so successfully."

Thea said her dream is "to act and to live on a farm", adding "I also want to be a babysitter".
