Sex Education’s Emma won’t get carried away...

RISING acting star Emma Mackey has a word of advice for aspiring actors who are at risk of over-exploiting themselves to make a name in the acting industry.

‘You have to protect yourself because you’ll be very tempted to give way to those sides of yourself because you want to prove yourself and be like, “I can do this and look at all of the stuff I can do, I’ll do anything,” ’ the Sex Education star tells me at a screening in Central London.

The French-British actress, 27, who played Emily Bronte in Emily adds: ‘But actually keep some of that to yourself and keep it for those special ones.’

Mackey is one of the five actors to be nominated for an EE Rising Star Award at this year’s Baftas, it’s the only award to be voted for by the public.
