FKA twigs

FKA Twigs (birthname: Tahliah Debrett Barnett) is one of the most acclaimed recording artists in the “alternative” music movement but has also displayed her acting chops in feature films, debuting with her supporting role in actor-screenwriter Shia LaBeouf’s autobiographical drama directed by Alma Har’el, Honey Boy (2019), co-starring Lucas Hedges, Noah Jupe, Maika Monroe, and Natasha Lyonne, and which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival before a theatrical and streaming release by Amazon Studios to a middling $3.4 million global gross.

FKA Twigs co-starred with Bill Skarsgård in the long-awaited reboot of the adaptation of James O’Barr’s 1989 comic book series, The Crow (2024), with Danny Huston, Josette Simon, and Sami Bouajila under Rupert Sanders’ direction, and released in the U.S. by Lionsgate Films (and by FilmNation Entertainment worldwide except for France and the U.K.).

FKA Twigs made her third feature acting performance in the New York-set Russian gang drama, Brighton Beach (2020), co-starring Costa Ronin and Barney Harris under co-writer David Gutnik’s direction, and released by Spotlight Pictures. FKA Twigs returned as an actor with renowned American filmmaker David Lowery in his pop music drama, Mother Mary (date to be announced), starring Michaela Coel, Anne Hathaway, Hunter Schafer, Kaia Gerber, Jessica Brown Findlay, and Sian Clifford, and distributed by A24.

FKA Twigs continued pairing her music career with her movie career with a co-starring role opposite Nicolas Cage and Noah Jupe in director/writer Lotfy Nathan’s French/U.K. co-production set in Roman Egypt, The Carpenter’s Son (date to be announced), with Souheila Yacoub and Isla Johnston, and co-produced by Anonymous Content/BlueLight/Cinenovo.
