BLUE SHADOW ACTRESS CLAIRE NICHOLSON TO PERFORM HER FIRST PRINCIPAL ROLE WITH SAN FRANCISCO BALLET
january 6, 2016 - CLAIRE NICHOLSON, corps de ballet member at San Francisco Ballet and better known to most of us as the actress who will be seen as Marvel Comoic's beloved Blue Shadow later this year, will be performing her debut performance as Juliet in Kenneth Macmillan's Romeo & Juliet.
Nicholson performed as a villager in Helgi Tommason's production of Romeo & Juliet last year, and the amount of growth seen in her dancing is astounding. As she tackles her first ever principal role, she is also preparing to start filming Spiderman: Homecoming in late June.
The 17-year-old superstar began training at the San Francisco Ballet School at the age of 11, and at 16 became a trainee with the company. At the end of last year's Spring season, Nicholson was promoted to the corps de ballet.
If this is the first time you've heard of her, here's what you need to know:
1) She has spent the last year juggling high school, a full time job at America's oldest ballet company and acting as Blue Shadow/Yulia Maximoff in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
2) Her birthday is April 11th, 1998, making her 17 years old
3) She has been in a relationship with her MCU costar Tom Holland since filming Captain America: Civil War in August 2015, when Tom was 19 and Claire was 17.
4) Before gaining fame as an actress, Nicholson was quite popular on Instagram, with 35k followers. She posts mostly photos from her ballet photoshoots, candid photos of her in the studio, healthy food and, recently, adorable pictures of her boyfriend.
5) Nicholson and Holland met before become actors in the MCU, though it is still unclear as to how/when. We're hoping someone brings it up during the Captain America: Civil War press tour, which starts next month.
