“I understand more and I hear more if I’m allowing myself not to
be offended by things.” Amy Bailey is an American and
British actress who played Queen Kwenthrith on the History
Channel’s drama Vikings for three seasons. She was a ballerina
and acrobatic performer before becoming a stage actress and then
working in film and TV.

Amy studied at the Houston Ballet and trained with Cirque du
Soleil, and performed with the Joffrey Ballet in New York and the
London Ballet Theatre in England as a professional ballerina. It
was there that she met her husband Anthony Gordon, with whom she
has three children. She gave birth to all of them at home
naturally.

She performed around the world as an acrobat and aerialist for
years. She first transitioned from performer into actress in
plays, where she has starred in The Producers, and has been
nominated for Best Actress in the Off West End Awards twice, for
her roles in Guys & dolls and Woody Allen’s Play It Again,
Sam.

She has also been in Tim Burton’s movie Alice in Wonderland and
the film adaptation of the musical Nine. In addition to starring
on Vikings, she has played Clementine in SyFy’s Dominion and the
Russian character Karina Volsky in Major Crimes, plus she plays
Kayla in Blood & Truth, Sony’s biggest VR game to date which
has an upcoming sequel. Amy splits her time between LA and London
and participates in improv comedy in both cities. She trained at
Groundlings Theater and has worked as a writer on various
projects including the upcoming fashion drama DNA.

In her spare time, she collaborates with fashion labels and
starred in an award-winning short film for Italian Vogue as part
of Marios Schwab’s “Chiara Skura” collection. Amy is going to
talk to us about her evolution from dancer to actress and to
mother and everything in between. Be sure to follow her on
Instagram: instagram.com/officialamybailey.

Topics we cover during the interview include how she met her
husband, how she gave birth to twins naturally at home, why she
left Vikings, what Queen Kwenthrith taught her, why sex scenes
are not really that sexy, what she thinks of method acting and
why she learned the hard way not to use it. Plus lots of Vikings
gossip such as why there was a sex scene between her and Ragnar
cut out, for fans like me. Between King Ragnar, King Egbert and
King Aethelwulf, which king would she kill, marry and sleep with?
