lifestyle and net worth number one
upbringing these days claudia jesse gets

mosley a suburb of the english city
birmingham her parents struggled to make

early life living on a canal boat her
family relocated to london but this did
little to ease their financial burdens
the actress would later recall bailiffs
and debt collectors regularly showing up
on the doorstep of the family home after
her parents divorced claudia and her
brother were raised by their mother
exclusively with their father readily
making an appearance her mother did the
best she could to provide for her two
children and cleaned houses to cover her
living expenses
my hero

her work really hard um sort of against
the odds with yeah not much support for
me and my brother for us to have a
decent life number two education claudia
jesse's education suffered from the
turbulence of her childhood at the age
of 14 she was pulled out of conventional
education with her mother choosing to
have her homeschooled instead this
homeschooling would last until she was
17 years old at which point she left
london to return to birmingham her
extracurricular activities around this
time included ballet lessons which no
doubt laid the groundwork for her
eventual showbiz success
number three early career in her late
teens and 20s jessie appeared in a
number of plays produced by amateur
dramatic societies
in one of her early performances she
caught the attention of british director
hannah phillips phillips immediately
picked up on jesse's aptitude for the
dramatic arts and invited her to join
her fear to group jessie took phillips
up on the offer which led to her inking
her first deal with an agent in 2012
number four previous jobs
during the early stages of her career
claudia jesse worked a number of odd
jobs to support herself these included
working in pubs walking dogs and even
making research phone calls for a
shampoo manufacturer unsurprisingly she
didn't make a whole lot of money working
jobs like these and so was forced to
sleep on her aunt's couch while waiting
for her big break
number five professional roles things
started to turn around for jessie in
2012 in that year shortly after signing
with her first agent she was cast in an
episode of the television series doctors

starred in include vanity fair and the
sitcom porters in 2020 she enjoyed her
first taste of international fame with
yet another starring role this time in
the netflix series bridgeton
number six personal life there has been
much speculation about claudia jesse's
personal life throughout her career we
can confirm that the actress is
currently in a relationship with a man
named joseph joseph works as a sound
engineer and the two live together in a
houseboat in birmingham although it is
presumably a much nicer houseboat than
the one she grew up on in an interview
with u magazine jessie stated that she
practices a japanese form of buddhism
known as nichiren buddhism she claims
the religion has helped her to manage
her anxiety issues and to overcome the
traumatic experiences of her childhood
her partner brother and mother are also
active in the faith jessie is a vegan
and has spoken out about her diet in a
number of interviews she has expressed
her fondness for vegan junk food but she
still makes a conscious effort to
maintain a balanced diet as is evidenced
by her 119 pound frame she stands at 5
feet 6 inches tall and has naturally
brown hair to complement her captivating
blue eyes number seven finances in her
decade-long acting career jessie has
built up an extensive filmography mainly
consisting of work on british television
series
the uk entertainment industry pays well
but it is her recent work with netflix
that has really pushed her net worth
into the stratosphere at the time of
this writing she has an estimated net
worth of 5 million dollars which looks
certain to only rise as her popularity
increases number 8 possessions despite
her impressive personal wealth claudia
jesse is something of a minimalist this
is likely inspired by her buddhist
beliefs which teach that a person does
not need personal possessions to be
happy if anything possessions are
thought to be obstacles to obtaining
total serenity as they tie the owner to
this world with this in mind jessie
wears only second hand clothing she
refuses to shop on the high street and
actively campaigns to encourage people
to shop in a more sustainable manner
number 9 hobbies jessie is not an active
on social media so glimpses into her
hobbies are rare we do know however that
the bridgeton actress has a passion for
music which began at a young age
according to jessie she discovered her
love for music as a child when her
grandfather taught her some rudimentary
playing techniques on his piano when her
grandfather passed away he left his
piano in his will to her which jessie
still plays to this day it seems musical
ability runs in claudia's family as she
has stated both her brother and mother
are also skilled musicians number 10.
friendships they say that people who
suffer together have stronger
connections than those who have had an
easy ride in life that certainly seems
to be true in claudia jesse's case
despite the traumatic events of her
childhood she maintains a close
relationship with both her brother and
mother in fact she credits her mother
for her acting success saying she never
would have had the nerve to pursue her
dream if she had not received such
enthusiastic encouragement from her
mother it is unknown what kind of
relationship jessie has with her father
if any as she has rarely spoken about
him in interviews the actress has a
number of close friends who are also
involved in the entertainment industry
one of these friends being irish actress
nicola colen jesse and colon met while
working together on bridgeton and hit it
off from the get-go however their
friendship nearly came to an end when
colin fell over during filming and
accidentally stabbed her co-star with an
umbrella that she was holding thankfully
jessie was able to laugh off the
incident in a testament to her gentle
nature and terrific sense of humor so i
was walking along and i fell three times
and the third time i was holding a
parasol which in the wrong hands is a
deadly weapon and i fell forward and
stabbed claudia jesse who plays eloise
bridgeton in the hand and she just
started bleeding with millions in the
bank legions of adoring fans and friends
and family who love her claudia jessie
lives a charmed life but even in the
face of her success she has not
forgotten about the difficult upbringing
she had and strives to make the world a
better place for those who might be
struggling now as she once did the
bridgeton star is truly an inspiration
for anyone who dreams of going from
humble beginnings to wild success
