Isis Hainsworth: I have a lot of fire inside, most actors do

MOST PEOPLE named after a Bob Dylan song - say Angelina or Johanna - can sail through life never needing to give a false name in a cafe for fear of being branded a troublemaker. Not so for Isis Hainsworth.

These days, the militant Islamist group that shares the actress's first name is less of a front-page issue, but it certainly affected the start of her career. "I was told I needed to change my name when I was first about to move to London," the 23-year-old says. But she dug her heels in. "I was like, 'No, this is my name."" This has been a breakout year for Hainsworth. Recently announced as one of Screen Daily's Stars of Tomorrow, she can be seen in Red Rose, the BBC's eight-part horror series set in Bolton. She plays Rochelle, whose life falls apart after she downloads a social media app which starts taking control.

"For young people, your phone is always there," Hainsworth says. "Everything is on your phone, and that includes social media, which can have a really horrible side to it."
