TV star Justine Mitchell has told how she first got into acting to stop being teased at school.
The 40-year-old stars as a journalist in new RTE drama Amber but she says she moved into that world to protect herself from bullies.She said: “I lived in Dublin until I was around 12 and then my parents moved to Hong Kong. I was 12 and I didn’t get much of a choice – I had to go.“I am writing a book about it at the minute because it was quite a jolt at that age to be somewhere like that.”Justine added she began creating characters for herself to try to fit in.She revealed: “At 12 years old you are kind of pretty watery – you don’t have a hugely strong sense of yourself.
“I got teased for being Irish and all that so I began putting on different accents and pretending I wasn’t Irish.
“I would put on an English accent and an American accent and pretend I was someone else. So it was a strange old time.”
