Naomi Ackie's Backup Plan was to be a Fashion Designer

If Ackie weren't an actress, she would have been a dressmaker. As well as fantasising about stardom, the actress said she would always dream about wearing her own creations on the red carpet. When mentioning her fashion plans, Ackie elaborated to NME: "I would be an atelier or something like that. I'd be in the corner putting sequins on fabric and making beautiful garments for someone else!" And who's to say this dream won't come true?

"I swear, when I was a teenager, I used to daydream about that! Like, 'one day I'm going to be an actress and go on the red carpet wearing something I'd made.' I don't have that skill. But I used to customise clothes when I was a kid, that's where that came from. I just need to learn how to be better, and then who knows! Gimme five years, and I might just do it."
