Gossip Teen

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader had it’s red carpet premiere in London at Leicester Square on November 29th and teen star Georgie Henley turned out for the event. The teen star wore a simple and elegant brown lace dress and tousled hair.

Georgie has starred in all three Narnia movies as Lucy, beginning with The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe when she was just 7 years old. Dawn Treader is the last novel that Lucy appears in (as a main character) so this is bittersweet for Henley. While she will have fond memories of the films themselves, the 15 year-old did take a hit when a fight scene went awry:

“The worst thing happened in a sword scene in which I had to fight off four grown men. We had almost got it right on the first take but the camera missed an important bit where I kick one of the men in, er, a not-so-very-nice-place, and they wanted me to do it again.”

“So we did it, but then I forgot that I was supposed to duck and one of the men’s sword handles hit me. I had to go to accident and emergency – I had a black eye and massive swelling on one side of my face. We had to continue shooting the next day, so they applied tons of make-up and digitally reshaped my face!”

Ouch!
