Katie Leung on Potter, Poirot, and Future

Katie Leung, who portrays Cho Chang in the Harry Potter films, has been featured, along with some other actresses, on You magazine as one of the young British actresses to watch. In the article, she speaks a bit about what she would be if not an actress, being star struck, her latest project, Agatha Christie’s Poirot: Cat Among the Pigeons, which will be on ITV later this month, and more. Read more to see what she had to say.

IF I WASN’T AN ACTRESS I’D BE…a photographer. I’m doing a course at the University of the Arts, London. But it’s an absolute skive – you don’t actually have to be there very much. Acting can be precarious so I want to have a back-up. I genuinely have no clue what I’ll be up to in a few years’ time.
I WAS COMPLETELY STARSTRUCK WHEN… I met J K Rowling for the first time at one of the Harry Potter premieres. They are brilliant occasions; people are shouting your name and you always get pampered and put up in a great hotel.
MY NEXT BIG PROJECT IS… finding a boyfriend. I don’t have one at the moment but I want
one. Because of Harry Potter everyone seems to assume I’m 16, which I don’t think really works in my favour. Friends are always asking me why I haven’t met someone during filming, but being in Harry Potter is a bit like being at school. Everyone in the cast is always looking for something to gossip about, which can be fun, as long as it’s not about you.
I HAVE A BIG CRUSH ON… Joaquin Phoenix – he’s amazing. He would be a great leading man. Meeting David Suchet at the start of filming on Poirot was funny because I expected him to talk in a Belgian accent but, of course, he talks in cut-glass English. The way he can switch it on and off is truly incredible.
