The actress who plays Calypso in Pirates of the Caribbean is gorgeous in real life
If you're familiar with the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, then you'll no doubt recognize voodoo enchantress Tia Dalma (the sea goddess Calypso bound in human form.) But what you might not know is that the woman beneath all the dreads and makeup is just as alluring as the character she plays. British actress Naomie Harris made her debut as Dalma in 2006's Dead Man's Chest and has since added many other huge movies to her resume, but the story of her life pre-Pirates is equally as interesting.
Harris is the daughter of a Jamaican mother and Trinidadian father, who split before she was born. "It's made me wary of commitment," the Londoner told The Telegraph. Times got tough for Harris and her mom in the years that followed, but they pulled through it together. From her humble beginnings to her arrival in Hollywood, let's take a look at the life and career of the real Calypso, the stunning Naomie Harris.
