Jodie Turner-Smith was a banker before she became an actress. She even pursued a career in modelling for a brief period until she made her acting debut. Back in 2023, Jodie recalled in an interview with Muse magazine that she used to tell stories during her childhood and invented many at the same time. She said that she spent most of her time in the library and was playing football when she was 13 years old. Jodie also opened up a little bit more about her early days and said:

“I was raised in a Jamaican family. Though we were in England and then eventually America, my parents—especially my mother— always sought out a community of culturally similar friends and acquaintances. I remember a house that always smelt of delicious food cooking, and then incense burning afterwards. More than that, I remember a house that was always full of people and laughter and their stories.”
