Find out more about Aimee, including details about her career, net worth, and more below.
Aimee is an English actress, born on February 3, 1994, in Stockport, Greater Manchester.
As a child, she struggled with severe shyness and an eating disorder—challenges she later recognized as signs of being neurodivergent. “I was almost mute, very socially anxious. I couldn’t sit down and eat a meal. My mum had to leave food around the house and I’d have to snack around,” she revealed in an interview with The Times.
Aimee went on to train at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), where she honed the emotional range and sharp comedic timing that would become hallmarks of her performances. “Sometimes I feel like I can experience more of a range of emotions as a character in someone else’s story than as myself,” she shared in the same interview.
Her breakout role as Aimee Gibbs in Sex Education earned her a British Academy Television Award and opened doors to a growing career in film, television, and theater. In addition to appearing in short films and acclaimed stage productions, Aimee has also stepped into writing. She created her first series, Film Club—a six-part BBC comedy about a young woman who, after developing agoraphobia, moves back in with her mother and starts a film club in her garage.
