"I felt a real connection to my boat," Croft says.
Not knowing much about boats might not be ideal when taking on the role of the youngest person to sail solo, nonstop around the world, but Teagan Croft took it all in her stride while preparing to play Jessica Watson for the Netflix film, True Spirit. "I had never sailed before in my life," the 18-year old reveals to WHO. "My sailing coach made miracles happen! Oh god, I loved it!" Despite the lack of sailing know-how, Croft could definitely draw on personal experience when playing the driven teen sensation - having travelled halfway across the world herself when she was cast in the superhero series, Titans, back in 2018. And now with her first leading role in a feature film under her belt, Croft is ready for the next challenge. "The world is my oyster at this point," she exclaims.
"I just felt so looked after," Croft says of working on set.
How did your role in True Spirit come about?
Well my manager had heard about [the role] ... and he had been pestering Sarah [Spillane] the director, you know, "I've heard Australian, 16, blonde girl - have I got the girl for you!" And the rest, as they say, is history.
Jessica is a pretty inspiring person to play. Did you know much about her story before you got the script?
