Chloe Coleman Is the Next-Gen Star to Watch


Chloe Coleman can never stay away from acting for too long. Even in her attempt to take time off in pursuit of a normal ninth grade experience, the 15-year-old ended up participating in three high school productions. “I love it! And I always want to do it,” she exclaims from her bedroom during a Zoom call. Coleman has been performing since the tender age of 5, graduating from commercials to Emmy-winning TV shows (Transparent and Big Little Lies) and blockbuster films (Dungeons & Dragons and Pain Hustlers). For the Los Angeles native, home is wherever she’s performing.

In the process of building herself a noteworthy career, Coleman has worked opposite some of Hollywood’s most celebrated names, learning from the likes of Emily Blunt, Zoë Kravitz, and Hugh Grant, to name a few. None have left a more indelible mark on the young actor quite like her My Spy co-star Dave Bautista. The two made for a dynamic duo in the 2020 comedy-action film about a recently demoted CIA operative named JJ (Bautista) who finds himself at the mercy of precocious 9-year-old Sophie (Coleman) during a mission surveilling her family. The Amazon Prime Video film was a streaming success, and Coleman and Bautista were a perfect pair, leading to this month’s sequel—My Spy: The Eternal City.
