About

Ella Loudon (born January 1, 1992, London) is a British-born actress, model, and multi-disciplinary artist who refuses to coast on her famous surname. Best known to casual fans as Daniel Craig’s eldest child, she has built her own résumé on New York stages, in indie features such as “Maneater” and “Trauma Is a Time Machine,” and through campaigns with Select Model Management that have landed her in Vogue and L’Officiel shoots. When she is not running lines or posing for a lens, Ella paints, sketches, and sells prints to support charities. In 2021 she and filmmaker Samantha Scaffidi launched the Domestic Violence Community Coalition of Hudson, aiming to funnel resources to survivors in New York’s Hudson Valley. Her Instagram feed—equal parts behind-the-scenes theatre, dog photos, and psychedelic water-colors—mirrors a life that swings between upstate cabins and red-carpet glam.

Before Fame

Creative DNA runs deep in the Loudon line: her mum, Fiona Loudon, is a psychotherapist, musician, and visual artist, while her dad was a struggling actor long before the tuxedos and martinis. Ella spent her early years in London, then crossed the Atlantic at 17 for a Massachusetts boarding school. A school production of “Bugsy Malone” at eleven flipped the switch; soon she was collecting drama-school brochures instead of autograph books. She enrolled at NYU’s Atlantic Acting School but left during freshman year when the curriculum felt too boxed-in. Real growth arrived at Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, Massachusetts, where she tackled Twelfth Night and As You Like It under Tina Packer’s mentorship. Ella has spoken candidly about navigating dyslexia—memorizing pages of Shakespeare by recording lines aloud—and a depressive spiral that followed her NYU exit, crediting family intervention and therapy for putting her back onstage.

Trivia

  • Screen credits range from the cult short Memory’s Paradigm (2007) to the thriller Texas Road (2010) and the creature feature Maneater (2022). She shot the experimental drama The Vizitant during an intense two-week schedule in Los Angeles and still calls it her crash course in guerrilla film-making.
  • Stage staples: In 2024 she originated multiple heroines in the Off-Broadway revival of “Women of Will,” a mash-up of Shakespearean monologues that demands lightning-fast character switches.
  • Model life: Away from rehearsals, she has walked at New York Fashion Week, fronted bridal-hair editorials, and rates vintage markets above luxury showrooms for style inspiration.
  • Hidden passions: free-diving off Scotland’s coast, re-scoring silent films on her keyboard, and brewing her own chamomile-ginger ale—hand-labeled with watercolor art, of course.

Family Life

Although her parents (Fiona Loudon & Daniel Craig) divorced when she was two, Ella calls both “the best cheer squad on the planet.” She often escorts her dad to premieres—fans still buzz about her silver suit at the No Time to Die gala—while Fiona remains her songwriting partner and late-night art critic. Through her father’s 2011 marriage to Rachel Weisz, Ella gained a younger half-sister, Grace, and a step-brother, Henry. Holidays alternate between London, upstate New York, and occasionally a quiet Scottish island, where phones go off and the family competes in impromptu sea-kayak races.

Associated With

Professionally Ella gravitates toward collaborators who blur boundaries. She co-produces short films with Samantha Scaffidi, trades Shakespeare insights with director Tina Packer, and once swapped monologue notes with Knives Out co-star Ana de Armas while waiting in a press-line queue. On camera she has shared credits with Canadian actor Chad Rook (Texas Road) and sling-shotted follow-spots back and forth with veteran stage actor Nigel Gore in “Women of Will.” Off camera she raises funds alongside domestic-abuse advocates at Hudson’s Time & Space Limited arts center and occasionally consults her dad on accent work—he handles Southern drawls; she polishes his iambic pentameter.
