Found this really interesting article about Sophie! Learned a few things about her that I didn´t know.

No class, but that’s a good thing

Mesmerising actor Sophie Lowe has revealed she struggled at school and was ”borderline dyslexic”.

The talented actress, who is about to appear in the ABC TV adaptation of The Slap – as a 16-year-old having an affair with a much older man – tells tomorrow’s edition of InStyle magazine it was a no-brainer to drop out of high school and embrace her ground-breaking role in Beautiful Kate.

”I found school tough,” she says. ”It was good at defining what I wanted, but I’m borderline dyslexic; at times, it was soul-destroying.

”Beautiful Kate was the right excuse to leave. I knew what I wanted to do.”

Evidently she made the right choice. Miranda Otto (her co-star on Blessed) calls her ”magnetic” and ”fearless” while The Slap director Matthew Saville says ”she lights up the screen”. Essie Davis describes her talent as ”intriguing to watch” and Melissa George says she has ”a massive career ahead of her”.

But Lowe, shooting her first American film, The Philosophers, in Indonesia, insists she is incredibly shy. That is, until the flashlight comes on.

”Once a camera is there, I’m like, ‘Bang!’ but meeting people, yes, I’m awkward and I get really nervous.”
