While she may be a millionaire actress today, Vanessa Kirby faced her fair share of difficulties early on. Eventually, the budding star found solace in acting as an outlet to deal with her torment from classmates at school. "It was always the drama side of things where I felt the most alive. The most myself," she told The Guardian. "I was quite badly bullied for a few years and I became self-conscious about everything I did in relation to the bullies. But drama was the place where I didn't."

But as her career continues to take flight alongside stars like Tom Cruise, Kirby is continuing to work on other goals, like a film of her own that focuses on "babies who are born addicted to drugs and how society treats those mothers." Not to mention, her more recent performance in Pieces of a Woman, in which her character gives birth onscreen, also has Hollywood talking. While speaking with fellow actor Amanda Seyfried for Variety, Kirby admitted that she felt "massive amounts of fear" and pressure "to get it right," saying, "Because when I read [the script], I realized that we see so many deaths on-screen — we so rarely see a full birth, and that's so weird." She mused, "I guess maybe because we haven't had as many female writers, and here was [screenwriter Kata Wéber] talking about her experience."

With a $4 million bank account and continued success, Vanessa Kirby's rising star is likely here to stay.
