Danielle Campbell is the star of the Disney films Star Fever and Prom, which she starred in as a teenager. As she grows older, she remains the idol of the youth audience, who grew up with her and remembered the first roles of the girl. For about five years (2013-2018) Danielle has been working on the TV series "The Originals", which reveals in more detail the fate of individual heroes of the "Vampire Diaries" TV saga. Miss Campbell experienced increased attention to her person during her romance with one of the soloists of the One Direction group.
Biography: childhood and early career
Danielle Marie Campbell was born on January 30, 1995 in the small town of Hinsdale, Illinois. She became the firstborn of Georgina and John Campbell, who worked in real estate fund management. A little later, a second child appeared in the family - the son of Johnny. Due to the small age difference, Daniel has always been very friendly with her younger brother.
In early childhood, the future actress lived for a short time with her family in Singapore, where they were brought by the work of their parents. The mother of the young star admitted that she always noticed her daughter's natural artistry and lack of fear of the public. However, Daniel never thought about the career of an actress. This decision was left to chance.
After returning from Singapore, mom and daughter went to a hairdresser in Chicago. An employee of the casting agency drew attention to the charming girl and asked Mrs. Campbell for her contact details. Georgina did not count on this venture too much, but the very next day Danielle was invited to the first audition in her life. In just a week, she landed a job in a Build-A-Bear Workshop plush toy commercial. The girl at that time was only 10 years old.
Early career and active employment did not prevent Daniel from studying at school and, if possible, remaining an ordinary child. Outside of filming, she regularly attended classes, completed school assignments and routine household chores. After much deliberation, the parents did not want to move to Los Angeles. They felt that living in Hinsdale gave their daughter the opportunity to grow up in a relaxed environment and receive a quality education.
In Hollywood, all child actors are forced to study at home or online. Sociable Daniel was not ready to part with classmates for the sake of a career. After a while, the girl admits that her school experience was very useful to her on the set of the movie "Graduation". And in order to avoid unnecessary attention, Georgina Campbell made sure that the press did not reveal information about where her daughter is studying.
Creativity: acting career
Miss Campbell got her first television role at 11. She played the little victim of the kidnapping Gracie Hollander in four episodes of the hit TV series Getaway. In 2008 she made her feature film debut: in the drama "House of Poker" she got the small role of Darla's girl. Young Jennifer Lawrence and little Chloe Grace Moretz also took part in this film.
In 2009, Daniel began to work with Disney, which gave a successful start to many stars in the entertainment industry. She first appeared in one of the episodes of the TV series "Zeke and Luther". And then she was chosen for the lead role in the movie "Star Fever", filmed for the Disney Channel in 2009. On the television screen, Danielle reincarnated as a simple girl Jessica Olsen, who has a romantic relationship with pop star and teen idol Christopher Wilde. On the day of its premiere on February 9, 2010, the film "Star Fever" attracted more than six million viewers of the Disney Channel. The next morning, Danielle Campbell woke up famous.
At the end of April 2011, the teen drama "Graduation" by Walt Disney Pictures was released. As the title implies, the film is about preparing and conducting a prom in an ordinary American school. One of the schoolgirls - Simone Daniels - was played by Danielle Campbell. Contrary to expectations, the film did not receive a large box office, although it exceeded its budget several times.
In 2013, Daniel successfully passed the casting for the TV series The Originals. After the success of "The Vampire Diaries" for one of its heroes - the vampire Klaus - it was decided to shoot a separate story. Together with his family, he comes to New Orleans, where new enemies, secrets, prophecies, friendship and love await him. The young witch Davina Claire, played by Campbell, tries to destroy Klaus and his family. Spectators watched the exciting adventures of vampires for five seasons. In the first three seasons, Daniel appeared in each episode, and then starred in separate episodes. By the beginning of the series, she had already graduated from high school, so for convenience she temporarily moved to Atlanta.
Miss Campbell's television career has been more successful so far. This becomes clear if you look at the list of shows and series in which the young actress took part:
- Beautiful to Death (2012);
- Hell's Kitchen (2017);
- The Runaways (2017);
- "Popular and in love" (2017);
- The Real American (2018);
- Tell me a story (2018).
Apart from the previously mentioned projects, Daniel's filmography is much more modest:
- Madea Witness Protection Program (2012);
- Race to the Salvation (2016);
- "To hell with graduation" (2017);
- You Can Choose Your Family (2018).
The movie "To hell with graduation" is not a sequel to the picture of 2011 with a similar title. This is an original story in the genre of teenage comedy. Danielle Campbell has the starring role of Maddie Dutner's high school star who intends to outshine everyone at the prom. It is difficult to judge the commercial success of the film, since it was not in the box office, but was released in the format of home video.
When asked by journalists about how she sees her future career, Daniel replies: “In the future, I would like to try myself in directing and producing. I'm interested in diving into different areas of this business, but right now I'm focused on acting."
Personal life
According to rumors, in 2015, Danielle Campbell had a romantic relationship with actor Tyler Posey, the star of the TV series Teen Wolf. The actress herself did not confirm this information. At the end of the same year, she began a high-profile romance with Louis Tomlinson, the vocalist of the popular One Direction group. The young people met in the company of mutual friends. The girl supported her lover during a difficult period when his mother fell ill and died of cancer. But this sad event only briefly brought Daniel and Louis closer together. They broke up in 2016.
Then Campbell had a short romance with actor Gregg Salkin (TV series Falsification), when he temporarily parted with his girlfriend Bella Thorne. Fans suspected Daniel of having an affair with his colleague on the TV series "The Originals" Nathaniel Buzolic, but the girl calls him only a close friend. But with another partner in this project - Colin Wooddell - she publishes romantic pictures in her accounts and increasingly appears at official events. Fans are sure that the official confirmation of the novel is not far off.
