Nicola Charles comes from Worcestershire, England, UK and on 5th day of Jan this year, she turned 40. Her good looks come from German and Brazilian blood. Before getting into movies and TV, she first appeared in front of the camera for a Coke ad, which led to more work for Oil of Olay, Pantene, L’Oreal, Rimmel and Schwarzkopf amongst others. Initially coming to the UK capital when she was a teen, she didn’t stay there for long, before relocating Down Under and scoring a part in soap Neighbours for good nine years.
While making Muggers (’00) she was introduced to her now hubby and travelled back to UK with him. Living across the globe, she is now in LA. Along with hubby, Jason Barry, she wrote couple of screenplays for Marathon Men and The Man from Burmah. Her good looks saw her make it to FHM, Loaded and Sky Magazine in ’98 – UK editions. She gave up acting for a while but has recently finished For Christ’s Sake (’10) and is also involved in production with her movie Easter Sixteen due to come out next year.
Her first try in singing saw her write her own album Listening In Color (’01) but it never made it to charts as it was never let in production, but Warner Chappell Music UK bought the rights to it. Marks & Spencer chose her as their muse for ’09 Summer clothes. Believing in supporting good causes, she supported The Leukemia Research UK, Born Free Foundation and RSPCA amongst some and also saved couple of animals from the pounds that are her pets now.
She is a stuntwoman but prefers to take photos of actors and actresses for various publications. On a personal front, Nicola Charles is a mother to 2 girls that she has from her marriage to Jason Barry.
