Kaya Rose Scodelario-Davis (born March 13, 1992) is an English actress. Her most well-known roles include Effy Stonem on the E4 teen drama Skins (2007-2010, 2013) and Teresa in the Maze Runner film series (2014–2018). Catherine Earnshaw appeared in Andrea Arnold's Wuthering Heights (2011), Carina Smyth in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017), Carole Ann Boone in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile (2019), Haley Keller in Crawl (2019), Katarina Baker in the Netflix original series Spinning Out (2020), and Claire Redfield in Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021).
Kaya Rose Humphrey, Scodelario's mother, was born on March 13, 1992, in Haywards Heath, West Sussex. Katia Scodelario, her mother, is a Brazilian accountant from Itu, So Paulo, who moved to England in 1990; Scodelario's surname is derived from her mother's Italian grandfather. Roger Humphrey, her father, was English and died in November 2010.
Scodelario's parents divorced when she was a year old, and her mother moved her to London when she was four. They were homeless for the first night before finding a council flat on Holloway Road. Scodelario took her mother's surname and grew up speaking Portuguese. She went to Bishop Douglass Catholic School before moving on to Islington Arts and Media School. She took part in school plays as an outlet for her bullying. Her mother worked multiple jobs to make ends meet and suffered from clinical depression, which worsened during Scodelario's adolescence as a result of the stress. Scodelario stated that she wanted to help but didn't know how and had moved to a Camden flat.
Scodelario was cast as Effy Stonem in the first series of Skins as a 14-year-old with no acting experience. Scodelario became discouraged during the auditions because she felt she was too young, but a producer encouraged her to stay and she was asked to read for the part. Scodelario's character developed significantly during the second series, despite having few speaking lines in the first. After the cast was replaced with a new generation of characters in the third and fourth series, she eventually became the central character. This made Effy one of the few characters who appeared from series 1 to series 4. Filming began in July, and Scodelario stated that her final day of filming the series was November 18, 2009, and that she would miss being on the show.
After the fourth series, Scodelario left, making way for the third generation of characters. Critics praised her performance, and she was nominated twice for Best Actress at the TV Quick Awards, in 2009 and 2010. Scodelario reprised her role as Effy in the episode "Fire," one of three in the seventh (and final) season of Skins. It is a two-hour long two-part depiction of her adult life. She claims that "Fire" is "more like a movie" and that she can relate to Effy's struggle to transition from adolescent to adult.
Scodelario made her film debut in Moon, a science fiction-thriller that premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival to positive reviews. Tasha, a teenager, appeared in her second film, Shank, which was released on March 26, 2010. She also played Peshet in the 2010 remake of Clash of the Titans.
Scodelario confirmed her casting as Cathy in Andrea Arnold's adaptation of Wuthering Heights in April 2010. Scodelario was hailed as a "heart-wrenching revelation" when the film premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September 2011. Wuthering Heights was also shown at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival, the London Film Festival, and the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.
She signed on to play Sally Weaver in the British thriller Twenty8k in 2011. The movie came out in September of 2012. Scodelario announced in late June that she had signed on to star in Now Is Good alongside Dakota Fanning. The film is based on Jenny Downham's novel Before I Die, which tells the story of a teenage girl with leukaemia who creates a bucket list of things to do before she dies. She plays the protagonist's best friend, Zoey. True Love, an improvised series consisting of five stand-alone episodes, each covering a different love-related dilemma, was filmed in late September 2011 by Scodelario for BBC One. She appears in the third storyline as Karen, her teacher's love interest, played by Billie Piper.
Scodelario shot her first American film, The Truth About Emanuel, in Los Angeles in January 2012. She plays Emanuel, a troubled 17-year-old girl who babysits her new neighbour Linda's "baby," which is actually a lifelike doll. It was released in limited quantities on January 10, 2014. Scodelario made a cameo appearance in the film Spike Island in April 2012. She also took part in an advertisement campaign for the Korean jewellery brand J. Estina. She starred in the four-part Channel 4 drama series Southcliffe in 2013, which tells the story of a fictional English town devastated by a series of shootings, as seen through the eyes of a journalist and those close to the victims.
She joined the film franchise The Maze Runner in April 2013 as Teresa, the lead female character in the first film, based on James Dashner's novel of the same name, which was released in September 2014, and its sequel, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, which was released in September 2015. She had lead roles in the 2015 home invasion thriller Tiger House and the film adaptation of The Kings Daughter, which was delayed after production wrapped in 2014. She also appeared in the sequel Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, which was released on May 26, 2017.
In Maze Runner: The Death Cure, Scodelario reprised her role as Teresa. The film was supposed to be released on February 17, 2017, but after her co-star Dylan O'Brien was injured on set, it was pushed back to January 26, 2018.
Scodelario embarked on new projects in 2019. The first, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile, was released in May 2019 and stars her as serial killer Ted Bundy's wife Carole Ann Boone. She then went on to play the lead in Alexandre Aja's horror film Crawl, which was released to positive reviews in July 2019. Scodelario's next film, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, was released in 2021, and she played video game character Claire Redfield as the main protagonist.
In 2019, Scodelario will star in a new Netflix series called Spinning Out, an edgy figure skating drama. The series, which premiered in early 2020, explored multi-person mental illness within a family and its interaction with high-level competitive sports.
Scodelario debuted as the face of Cartier's new jewellery line, Clash de Cartier, in Spring 2019, and filmed the latest Agatha Christie miniseries adaptation, The Pale Horse, for Amazon and BBC. Scodelario will join Amazon Studios' dramedy Don't Make Me Go in August 2021.
Private life
Scodelario dated Skins co-star Jack O'Connell for about a year before splitting up in June 2009, but they remained close friends. From late 2009 to early 2014, she was in a relationship with Elliott Tittensor. She supported Tittensor after he was arrested for hitting someone while driving an uninsured car during their relationship.
Scodelario and Benjamin Walker began dating in early 2014 while filming The King's Daughter, and they married in December 2015. Both took the surname "Scodelario-Davis" later on. In November 2016, their first child, a son, was born. Scodelario announced her pregnancy with her second child on September 18, 2021. She gave birth to a daughter in December 2021.
In the UK edition of FHM's 100 World's Sexiest Women 2010, she was ranked 13th.
Scodelario revealed in October 2017 that she had been sexually assaulted when she was 12 years old.
