The 24-year-old musician, actress and model exudes nonchalance. Born in Toronto, raised between Los Angeles and New York, her latest project has brought her to Zagreb, Croatia, where our ES Magazine cover shoot is taking place. She arrives on set with her mum — helpfully, Nineties fashion model, Anna Bauer — her ebony mullet spiking out at every angle like the love child of Patti Smith and Dennis the Menace. Her T-shirt pays tribute to one of her favourite bands, Sonic Youth, and she mimics the iconic illustration as she puffs on a roll-up.

She’s here filming an intense Second World War movie, Vindicta, directed by Dominik Sedlar. Her character, Hannah, witnesses her parents murdered in front of her and sets out to get vengeance. ‘I’ve always wanted to do something really serious, but it is intense,’ she says, in her weighted LA drawl that drags at the end of every sentence like syrup dripping from a spoon. ‘It’s a type of film I’ve never done before so obviously it’s a challenge, but it’s fun for me.’
