But her Oscar-winning performance came in the film Room, released in 2015. She began acting at age 6 and started taking classes at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco.

Fans Fail To Recognize Brie Larson In Public
In an incident from 2021, she recounted an experience where she was hanging out with a fellow actor who was signing autographs for fans, yet none of them recognized the famous Captain Marvel star.
“If I’m checking out at the grocery store, I don’t get recognized,” Larson said on Mike Birbiglia’s Working It Out podcast. “I get, ‘Are you friends with my cousin?’ I am the classic face of ‘friend of your cousin.'”
While some celebrities might crave attention and recognition in public, Brie Larson says she prefers being anonymous when she ventures out in the world. During a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the 33-year-old actress shared that she deeply appreciates reality and wishes to experience it without any added attention or fuss.
“My biggest fear is to not be in reality. It matters so much to me,” Larson added. “I don’t wear super-flashy clothes when I’m out in the world because I want to stay in reality. I’m very good at confrontation in my relationships because I want to be in reality. I want to be in what’s as close to what’s true as possible.”

Larson’s rise to fame was swift, initially securing a role in the TV sitcom Raising Dad and smaller roles in films such as 13 Going on 30 and Sleepover. Later, Larson landed more significant roles in blockbuster movies such as Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, 21 Jump Street, and the MCU’s Captain Marvel. The actress will also appear in the next Fast and Furious film, Fast X, which is slated to release on May 19.
