Read on for everything you need to know about the star.<\/p> Emma Appleton is a British model-turned-actor.<\/p>\n She is best known for her role as fan-favourite Princess Renfri in Netflix fantasy TV series The Witcher<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Pistol and Everything I Know About Love<\/a> star is 30 years old.<\/p>\n Appleton began her acting career with a role in Sara Dunlop\u2019s short film Dreamlands in 2016.<\/p>\n She quit modelling shortly after landing the role and went on to bag a part in the BBC show Clique.<\/p>\n \u201cMy gut was telling me this was the time to leave modelling and throw myself into [acting],\u201d she\u00a0told W Magazine<\/a> of the decision.<\/p>\n Appleton went on to land another role in TV series Traitors and also played Kelly in the first season of The End of the F***ing World.<\/p>\n But it was by landing a role in The Witcher, that she got her big break.\u00a0Appleton starred in the Netflix fantasy series as fan-favourite character Princess Renfri.<\/p>\n \u201cI knew [The Witcher<\/em>] was going to be a big thing because it had a big fanbase,\u201d she explained, adding: \u201cbut it really just exploded.\u201d<\/p>\n Talking about her role in Everything I Know About Love, Appleton told Elle Magazine<\/a>: \u201cMeeting Dolly was the key to getting to grips with the role.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought Nancy was going to be more difficult, because on paper she\u2019s so different to me. But it turns out, Maggie was much harder as we\u2019re so similar. She\u2019s in her mid-twenties navigating life, love and what her place is in the world. I think we can all say, \u2018Yeah, I\u2019ve been that person\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n Appleton\u00a0also related to the outfits. \u201cI\u2019m in outfits that I was wearing when I was 17 or 18,\u201d she added. \u201cThe Topshop hoodies, tights under denim shorts \u2013 I was like, \u2018This is a bit too perfect.\u2019 It was the most nostalgic time I\u2019ve ever had\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n In an interview with PORTER magazine<\/a>, Appleton echoed the same sentiments about relating to her character.<\/p>\n \u201cMaggie so wants to be liked and loved.
