Ayo Edebiri, star of the film After the Hunt, has become one of the most captivating actresses of her generation. Actress, director, screenwriter, exceptional stand-up comedian… Ayo Edebiri has carved out a place for herself in Hollywood thanks to her multifaceted talents. Revealed by the series The Bear, her versatility has made her one of the new faces of independent cinema, embraced by both the fashion and film industries.

Throwback to the meteoric rise and journey of one of the most endearing film stars of her generation. In an era where every new breakthrough seems linked to a relative already taking part in the inner workings of the film industry, stories of accidental discovery on screen rekindle hopes. Few are the celebrities who truly came out of nowhere and whose family members aren’t written in blue on Wikipedia. Moments when we can genuinely fall under the spell of a performer, without wondering whether or not you recognise the features of a famous face in their gaze, smile, or dimple, are rare and precious. That’s exactly the kind of instant crush we had as we discovered Ayo Edebiri in the first season of The Bear. In the show created by Christopher Storer, American actress Ayo Edebiri dazzles as an aspiring chef whose dreams of glory are partly crushed by her neuroses.
