6 things to know about Pom Klementieff, the silent breakout star of ‘Mission: Impossible - Final Reckoning'
Born in Quebec but raised in France, Klementieff trained at the prestigious Cours Florent drama school in Paris. Before Hollywood came calling, she appeared in several French films, honing her craft in a range of genres from psychological drama to offbeat comedy. 4. She's no stranger to franchise fame
While Mission: Impossible introduced her to a new audience, Klementieff is already familiar to fans of blockbuster cinema. She gained international attention as Mantis in the Guardians of the Galaxy series, where her awkward, empathic alien stood in stark contrast to the ruthless Paris. 5. Silence was a creative choice
Although the some critics have raised concerns about Paris's near-wordless presence in Mission: Impossible, claiming it reinforces feminine Asian stereotypes, the choice was an artistic one, and it was deliberate. Klementieff and McQuarrie worked to strip the character's dialogue to the bare minimum, letting her body language and expressions carry the story. The result: a performance that was all tension and unpredictability. 6. Fashion is her personal playground
Off-screen, Klementieff has carved a reputation for her bold fashion choices. A fixture on red carpets from Cannes to Seoul, she mixes edgy couture with unexpected accessories. Her style reflects her approach to acting: risk-taking, unorthodox and never dull.
