Asha Banks on the ruthlessness of child auditions, the dangers of shipping culture & her friendship with ‘Your Fault’ co-star Matthew Broome
Josh Smith's Great Chat ShowShow Notes
From child auditions on the West End to starring in not just one huge movie, ‘My Fault: London’ but now its follow up ‘Your Fault: London’ Asha Banks has been working since she was seven years old! And at 22, she is only just getting started.
In this chat with Josh, Asha reveals the brutal reality of child auditions and how rejection at a young age built the resilience she relies on today. She looks back on her meteoric rise over the last 18 months, going from playing a show for 40 people to 65,000 people in Hyde Park, and tells Josh who keeps her grounded through all of it.
Asha gets into why intimacy coordinators create freedom rather than limit it, and lets Josh in on the great chat that kick-started her friendship with co-star Matthew Broome on a five hour flight to Tenerife.
Plus she joins the group chat to answer your questions. Alright then, fancy a chat?
Watch ‘Your Fault: London’ on Prime Video and stream Asha’s new song ‘Come Down’ now.
