The latest Netflix film release, Time Cut, features the breakout stars of two successful series from the streaming platform, offering a fresh take on the horror genre.
Time Cut is an innovative slasher movie with time travel elements, following a high school student who journeys back to 2003 to solve her sister’s murder.
One of the film’s stars is Antonia Gentry, who made a name for herself in the Netflix series Ginny and Georgia.
Her new film debuts just in time for Halloween, but viewers may be curious about the star of the movie and her life off-screen.
Here’s everything you need to know about Antonia Gentry, including her early life, previous roles, and even her current relationship status, reports the Mirror.
Early Life
Antonia Bonea Gentry was born on September 25, 1998, and grew up in Atlanta, Georgia.
She is of mixed race, with her mother originally from Jamaica, and she knew she wanted to be an actress since she was five years old.
Gentry would perform in community theatre projects in plays written by her mother and went on to study drama at Emory University, where she also joined the school’s comedy improv troupe.
While graduating in 2019, she was already juggling professional acting jobs with her studies, alongside a part-time job to support herself.
After leaving college, Gentry moved to New York and adopted a cat named Butterworth.
Where you’ve seen her before
Gentry had a minor role in the Netflix film Candy Jar and made an appearance in one episode of the streaming giant’s series Raising Dion.
Her big break came right after college when she landed the role of Ginny Miller in the Netflix series Ginny and Georgia.
In the show, she portrays Georgia’s teenage daughter who hasn’t stayed in one place long enough to form lasting relationships.
The series was renewed for a third and fourth season last year.
Time Cut isn’t Gentry’s only leading role this year as she also starred in Prom Dates, which premiered on Disney+.
She plays one of two friends who must hastily find new dates for their prom.
While expected to return for more episodes of Ginny and Georgia, Gentry is also set to appear in a film next year titled The Upside of Falling Down.
The plot revolves around a young American woman who survives a plane crash in Ireland and flees from the hospital.
Is Antonia Gentry in a relationship?
As for her personal life, Gentry tends to keep her dating life under wraps.
It was reported that she was dating musician Ezra Pounds, believed to be her high school sweetheart, but rumours suggest they have since split, with photos of them allegedly removed from Instagram.
In a 2023 interview, she mentioned having a boyfriend who sparked her obsession with the reality series Love Island, although she stated it’s the only reality show she watches.
Time Cut is streaming on Netflix from October 30.
