    Damn shes in Arcane, fallout and yellowjackets. She is absolutely killing it. Props to her agent.
  • @brodull1142
    Female Henry Cavill didn't exist. Ella Purnell : Okey Dokey
  • I would never have guessed that Ella Purnell is British. She did a really good American accent in Fallout.
  • @Davorta
    Btw, she voiced Jinx In Arcane tv series, i can't believe she starred 2 successful adaptation series and all nailed it.
  • @Cryptic-cy3xr
    I hope Hollywood doesn't corrupt her. She has a charm that's very rare.
  • @Lihkhan
    Seeing Ella so excited to wear "just" the Power Armor helmet looks like what most of us Fallout players would've done in the same situation.
  • @fluffy_walrus
    Loads of comments already singing Ella's well deserved praises over her performance in Fallout, so I'm going to give props to Dale Dickey for her work as Ma June in Fallout (the older woman in the clip at the end of this video). She's one of the best character actors alive, and she always elevates the scenes she's in.
  • @thealaskapirate
    I am that co-star she was talking about (blush) I Love Ella So Much! I was in the film "WildLike" with her when she was 15 up here in Alaska! ❤She has built an Amazing Career and I am so proud of her. I would LOVE to be in FallOut with her now that she is all grown up beautiful woman! She starred in Tim Burtons Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children as Emma and so much more ❤

    It's weird to say this but, Fallout was actually a solid adaptation. I really enjoyed the first season and I can't wait for season 2. Ella is a fantastic actress. She did a really good job on the show EDIT: "Why is that weird?": Because videogame adaptations usually turn out like crap
  • @t3tsuyaguy1
    She was genuinely my favorite part of the show, and this show had The Ghoul in it.
  • @johnhaxby306
    I just binged FALLOUT over the weekend and LOVED IT, totally unique and wonderful. She created such a good lovable character. wished they had the 2nd season in the chamber but it wont be ready until 2025.
  • @yonoexiste
    ELLAAAAH that’s my jinx and jackie 😭😭❤️
  • @TehNarrator
    Fallout was great. I binged it. Now I'm hopelessly in love with Ella
  • As a Brit it makes me very proud of our tradition of producing so many fantastic young Actors smashing it in the States 🇬🇧
  • @jonbaxter2254
    For the longest time, I thought she was American. Flawless accent.
  • @PaulADAigle
    I've loved her since "Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children (2016)", where she was a blonde, which completely boggled my mind.
  • @user-ro9lu7uo1j
    Her American accent is OUTSTANDING. I live in a Canadian border town, and she sounds even more American than I do.
