Hermione Corfield, born on December 19, 1993, in London, England, is an English actress and model who has carved a notable niche in the entertainment industry.
The daughter of Richard Conyngham Corfield, a former managing director and author from the Corfield family of Chatwall Hall, Shropshire, and Emma Willis, a renowned Jermyn Street shirt designer, Hermione grew up in a creatively rich environment.
Her early life was spent in Cold Ash, a village near Newbury, Berkshire, where she attended the prestigious Downe House School.
She later pursued English literature at University College London before honing her acting skills at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York.
Siblings
Hermione is one of three children, sharing her upbringing with her sister, Isadora Corfield, and her brother, Kai Corfield.
Isadora, born in 1997, and Kai, born in 1992, grew up alongside Hermione in Cold Ash, attending Downe House School, a selective institution known for fostering talent.
While Hermione has stepped into the public eye with her acting career, little is publicly known about Isadora and Kai’s professional pursuits, as they maintain a low profile.
The Corfield siblings were raised in a supportive household, with their mother’s fashion business and their father’s literary and business endeavors providing a backdrop of ambition and creativity.

Corfield’s acting career began with a debut in 2014, playing Anna in the short film Colton’s Big Night, a segment of 50 Kisses.
Her breakthrough came in 2015 with roles in two high-profile films: Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, where she appeared alongside Tom Cruise, and Mr. Holmes, starring Ian McKellen.
