Behind the Breakout: Bally Gill

When the Evening Standard touts you as one of their "rising stars of stage and screen", you know life is about to change. For Bally Gill, this very precipice has suddenly become very real, having recently been named one of the Standard's top picks for 2023.

Here we speak to Bally about joining an esteemed lineage of Romeos, moving to Solihull, and the pros and cons of laser beam focus.
