Childhood & Early Life

Samara Weaving was born on February 23, 1992, in Adelaide, South Australia, to Simon Weaving and Helena Bezzina. Her father is a filmmaker while her mother is an art therapist. Her father is also a lecturer at the University of Newcastle, in Newcastle, New South Wales. Along with her father being into the film business, her uncle Hugo Weaving also happens to an acclaimed actor, which led Samara to gain an interest in films from an early age.

Her father was of English ancestry while her mother had roots in Malta. Samara grew up with a younger sister named Morgan Weaving.

Due to her father’s job, Samara moved around a lot during her childhood. She was also shy and introvert, which further made moving to new places constantly a terrifying experience for her. Her mother was an art therapist, and she helped her come out of her shell. In addition, she was also enrolled in a drama school when she was 5 years old, to further make her open up.

The transformation happened overnight. She played the Grinch in a stage-play after she joined the drama school, wherein her loud performance grabbed eyeballs.

She spent most of her childhood and early teen years moving around a lot in countries such as Fiji, Indonesia and Singapore. She eventually moved back with her family to Australia permanently. She approached her schooling from a grade school in Jakarta, Indonesia, and the Pittwater High School in Australia. She later graduated high school from the Canberra Girls’ Grammar School.

All through those formative years, she was active in dancing and acting on-stage. She had become a highly polished actress by the time she was 15 years old. She exhibited her desire to become an actress to her parents when she was 13. Her parents arranged a talent agent and thus, she began auditioning for roles in films and television.
