Helen O'Hara is a film journalist and editor-at-large for Empire, the world's biggest film magazine. Born in Northern Ireland, she qualified as a barrister but took a position at Empire instead of the bar, where she spent more than a decade interviewing most of Hollywood's A-list and covering big events from Comic-Con to the Oscars. She now writes for the Daily Telegraph, The Pool, Grazia and GQ. She is a regular commentator on the BBC, co-hosts the Empire podcast and has hosted events for the Barbican, BFI and at Cannes.
