25-year-old Amandla Stenberg plays a former Jedi knight in the new Star Wars series "The Acolyte". The 25-year-old does her own stunts.

Give American Amandla Stenberg a ticket to Denmark, and she'll fly there directly. The 25-year-old actress from the new Star Wars series "The Acolyte" loves our neighboring country.

Her father is from there and lives there.

She also feels at home in the lead role in "The Acolyte", which takes place before the nine Star Wars films, in a galaxy where the dark forces are on the rise. An acolyte is in Star Wars an individual with powers, who learns more from the experienced in the Sith order.

Stenberg plays two roles, both the former Jedi knight, who is suspected of murdering several Jedi. It turns out that the murderer is her twin sister, who everyone thought was dead – and who is also portrayed by Stenberg.

It will be wild chases, fights with laser swords and an opportunity for the two sisters to become friends again.

Amandla Stenberg, who is also known from the film "The Hate U Give", played herself in the roles of the twin sisters, which she found tough.

She does many of the action scenes herself. The fight scenes on the ground are mostly her who has filmed them.

Amandla Stenberg likes fantasy and science fiction because it "takes us to the limits of what we know".

She is not just an actress, but also a model and singer, among other things, she was in Beyoncé's film "Lemonade" in 2016. Now she wants to focus more on music.

Born: 1998 in Los Angeles.

Lives: USA.

Occupation: singer, actress.

Prior roles: "Sleepy Hollow", "Nothing and everything", "The Hunger Games", "Bodies bodies bodies".

Current: In "The Acolyte" (on Disney+)
