Claire Foy Net Worth $4 Million
The youngest of three children born to an Irish mother and English father, Claire spent her childhood between Manchester, Leeds, and later Longwick, Buckinghamshire, where her father found a job as a salesman for Rank Xerox. Unfortunately, her parents divorced when she was only eight years old, then Claire went to Aylesbury High School, and after matriculation enrolled at Liverpool John Moores University, where she studied drama. She was then also a part of the Oxford School of Drama for one year, and finished her studies in 2007 before launching her acting career.
Claire lived in Peckham, London with five other friends from drama school, and to support her beginnings, Claire took several odd jobs, including working in supermarkets. Luckily, Claire launched her career by debuting in an episode of the TV fantasy drama series “Being Human” in 2008, and the same year also made an appearance in the TV drama series “Doctors”, while then securing her first recurring role as Amy Dorrit in the TV mini-series “Little Dorrit”, which not only stablished her net worth, but also helped her gain highly-needed experience.
In 2011, Claire played Anna in the action fantasy “Season of the Witch”, starring next to Nicolas Cage, and Ron Perlman, while later the same year she starred in the drama film “Wreckers” with Benedict Cumberbatch and Shaun Evans, further increasing her net worth. From there, Claire continued with lead roles in several successful projections, including the TV mini-series “White Heat” (2012), while in 2016 she portrayed Queen Elizabeth II in the TV historical drama series “The Crown”, which earned her a number of nominations and awards, including a Golden Globe Award in the category Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series- Drama, and a Primetime Emmy Award nomination in the category Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. Being a main cast member of the series increased her net worth to a large degree, but also her popularity, which led to the lead role in the romantic drama film “Breathe”, a biopic about Robin and Diana Cavendish who managed to overcome devastating disease. The film was also a directing debut for Andy Serkis, and alongside Claire, the lead male role was given to Academy Award-nominated actor Andrew Garfield.
The particular role launched her further into the acting world, and she is now working on several films in which she will be the main star, “The Girl in the Spider’s Web”, a crime drama thriller, and “First Man”, which is a biopic about Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. Both films are set for release later this year.
When it comes to her personal life, Claire has been married to actor Stephen Campbell Moore since 2014; the couple has a child together.
