Liana Liberato

Liana Liberato has been dating ‘YouTube’ star Thomas O’Brien, better known as “Tommy,” since 2015. The couple does not shy away from declaring their love for each other on various social-media platforms.

Liana Liberato has had insecurity issues regarding her looks since her early teenage years. She had acne on her face and considered herself too short to be considered beautiful.

Liana Liberato was born on August 20, 1995, in Galveston, Texas, to George and Rhondelle Liberato.

From an early age, she was interested in performing arts. She joined theater at the tender age of 3. For the next few years, she continued to hone her theater skills. Initially, she did not want to pursue a career in the field. She also played softball and soccer but always found herself in theater classes at the end of the day.

One of her distant relatives lives in Los Angeles, and the family went to meet him. Liana was 9 years old at that time and had already made up her mind to become a professional actor. During the trip, Liana joined an acting class. Soon, a Hollywood agent visited her class in order to find some child actors and auditioned a few students. Liana was among the students who got selected.

She got a call for an audition the very next day. The audition featured a scene from ‘Alice in Wonderland.’ Her performance was appreciated and she was offered a contract by the agency. She was just 9 years old when she made her acting debut in a single episode of series ‘The Inside.’

After appearing on ‘The Inside,’ Liana started getting more offers. She appeared in an episode of the series ‘Cold Case,’ titled ‘Strange Fruit.’ This was her official acting debut.

In 2005, she enriched her resume with a guest role in the highly popular crime drama ‘CSI: Miami.’ Two years later, she made her film debut with a starring role in the film ‘The Last Sin Eater.’ The film was based on a novel of the same name and earned mixed reviews from critics. However, it was deemed a box-office success.

The same year, she appeared in a film titled ‘Safe Harbour,’ where she once again played one of the key roles. Her character in the film, ‘Pip Mackenzie,’ was portrayed as a little girl trying to befriend a lonely artist after losing her brother and father in an accident. The film opened to mixed reviews and performed poorly at the box office.

In 2010, she got the biggest breakthrough of her career. She was offered a leading role in the David Schwimmer-directed film ‘Trust.’ The film featured Liana as a teenage girl falling victim to sexual abuse while trying to befriend a stranger via social media. Her portrayal of the lonely teenage girl, ‘Annie Cameron,’ earned accolades, and the film was a big critical success. It premiered at the ‘Chicago International Film Festival’ and earned the ‘Silver Hugo Award for Best Actress.’

She also received appreciation from legendary film critic Roger Ebert. The success of ‘Trust’ earned a key role in the 2011 film ‘Trespass,’ where she played the role of the teenage daughter of the lead characters, played by Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman. ‘Trespass’ was a major critical and commercial disaster.
