Jordanne Jones: A star was born with her first role at age 12

At 18, Irish actress Jordanne Jones already has a lot of experience, but Metal Heart could be her breakout film, writes Esther McCarthy

AS a child, Jordanne Jones would regularly tell her family of her desire to be an actor, so when her mother, Senator Lynn Ruane, heard of auditions for a film in their community centre, she encouraged her to go. The 12-year-old ended up delivering an extraordinary lead performance in Frank Berry’s film, I Used to Live Here, set in her native Tallaght.
