Who is Sharon Rooney?

Sharon is an only child and discovered her love of acting after seeing a pantomime with her aunt as a child. “It was all I talked about doing,” Sharon has since said in an interview. “I was always chatting, always the one to make people laugh, talking too much, being disruptive.”
After leaving school, Sharon studied performing arts before completing a drama degree at Hull University.
She then spent time on the comedy circuit before landing her breakthrough television role. Sharon played Rae Earl in My Mad Fat Diary, which aired on E4 between 2013 and 2015.
Her performance earned her several award nominations, including recognition from BAFTA Scotland and the Royal Television Society.

Who did Sharon Rooney play in Barbie?
Sharon’s career reached a new level in 2023 when she landed a role in Hollywood blockbuster Barbie.
She played Lawyer Barbie alongside some of the biggest names in the business; Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.
Speaking to Glamour at the time, Sharon revealed her reaction to getting the part: “When I got the call, I just thought, ‘Shut up. What?’ I just couldn’t believe it, and I still, even now, can’t really believe it. It doesn’t feel real.”
