Early Life

Lucy Boynton was born Lucy Christabel Boynton on January 17, 1994, in New York City. She is the daughter of English journalists Adrianne Pielou and Graham Boynton, and she has an older sister named Emma-Louise. Lucy grew up in southeast London and holds dual citizenship between the U.K. and the U.S. When Boynton was 10 years old, she realized that she wanted to be an actress thanks to her "brilliant drama teacher, Helen Kay." In a 2017 interview with "You" magazine, she stated, "She taught us that acting was not playing pretend; it was understanding the human mind and why people function as they do. And that you act with your eyes – I found it fascinating that you could become another human through something so minute." Lucy studied at the London private schools Blackheath High School and James Allen's Girls' School.

Career

Boynton made her professional acting debut at the age of 12 as young Beatrix Potter in the 2006 film "Miss Potter." She landed the role after a casting director sat in on her drama class and asked her to audition. After members of a test screening audience responded positively to Lucy's performance, extra scenes were written for her. She has said that the first day of filming "Miss Potter" was "the best day of [her] life," and she earned a Young Artist Award nomination for her performance. Next, Boynton appeared in the TV movies "Ballet Shoes" (2007) and "Mo" (2010) and played Margaret Dashwood in the 2008 miniseries "Sense & Sensibility."

Lucy appeared in the films "Copperhead" (2013), "The Blackcoat's Daughter" (2015), "Sing Street" (2016), "I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House" (2016), "Don't Knock Twice" (2016), "Rebel in the Rye" (2017), "Let Me Go" (2017), and "Apostle" (2018), and she co-starred with Kenneth Branagh, Tom Bateman, Penélope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, and Judi Dench in 2017's "Murder on the Orient Express." That year she also starred as Allison Adams on the Netflix series "Gypsy."

In 2018, Boynton played Mary Austin, the former fiancée of Freddie Mercury (Rami Malek) in the biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody."

From 2017 to 2023, Lucy dated her "Bohemian Rhapsody" co-star Rami Malek. After they split up, she began a relationship with Murdo Mitchell, a Scottish musician. Though Boynton has described herself as "painfully British," she told "You" magazine, "I divide my time between London, Los Angeles and New York now, and I feel I belong in all of them, partly because I sort of feel American."
