James Thomas Howard Thompson • 2026-10-30 • Reviewed by Hanna Berg

Imogen Poots played Tammy Harris in 28 Weeks Later (2007), a credit that MovieStillsDB (film still database) lists, and her film credits are the best-sourced part of her public record. Her personal-life claims rest on no dated primary source, so this article reports them as unconfirmed.

  • Relationship status needs a dated primary record before any publication repeats it.
  • The V for Vendetta release year stays open until an official record settles the 2005 and 2006 dates.
  • Any age figure should be rechecked against the current date.

The core record below repeats the identity facts from the snapshot and adds the TMDB person ID from the filmography listing.

Who is the English actress named Imogen?

Acting was not the first plan. According to Fandango (movie ticketing and film news site), Poots deferred admission to the Courtauld Institute of Art for two years to pursue acting after finishing her A-levels. The same site says her earlier aim of a veterinary career ended after she fainted during a veterinary surgery internship, which led her to acting through the Young Blood Theatre Company improv workshop, per the Fandango biography.

What is Imogen Poots’ real name?

  • Full name: Imogen Gay Poots, according to FilmLink (film credits site)
  • Profession: English actress and model, per the same listing

How does Imogen Poots pronounce her name?

  • No sourced phonetic guide appeared in the research.
  • This article therefore offers no phonetic spelling or audio reference.
Why this matters

A verified full name gives readers a fixed point of comparison, so any name variant on an aggregator page can be checked against it. Readers who skip that check risk repeating a spelling error.

The implication: the identity facts are the most solid part of this profile, and the pronunciation question stays open until someone cites a reference.

Who plays the daughter in 28 Weeks Later?

Imogen Poots played Tammy Harris in the post-apocalyptic horror film 28 Weeks Later, released in 2007, according to Pop Culture Files (filmography database). That credit is the one most readers search for, and it anchors the rest of her listed work.

What films and shows is Imogen Poots known for?

  • Jimi: All Is by My Side (2013), as Linda Keith, per MovieStillsDB (film still database)
  • That Awkward Moment (2014), as Ellie Andrews, per Pop Culture Files (filmography database)
  • Roadies (2016), as Kelly Ann on Showtime, per NowRunning (film and TV listings)
  • Fright Night (2011 remake), as Amy Peterson, per Kiddle (children’s encyclopedia)

The implication: the 28 Weeks Later credit anchors her early screen profile, and the later roles show a run of genre and romantic films rather than a single breakout title.

What happened between James Norton and Imogen Poots?

The research does not confirm any relationship between Imogen Poots and James Norton. A celebrity wiki reportedly links the two, according to MarriedWiki (celebrity wiki), but that page is the only source for the claim and it gives no date.

Who was Imogen Poots engaged to?

  • The research records no engagement for Imogen Poots.
  • Any account of an engagement needs a dated report from an official or established publication.
  • Tabloid and aggregator claims stay unconfirmed until a dated source backs them.
The catch

Personal-life claims spread between wiki-style sites that copy one another, so a name repeated on several pages still counts as one unverified claim.

The implication: readers searching for a partner’s name should check the date of any report before they trust the name itself.

Is Imogen Poots single?

The research does not establish Imogen Poots’ current relationship status. Status changes over time, so any statement needs the date of its source attached, and the inputs supply no dated source.

Does Imogen Poots have kids?

  • No information about children is confirmed by the research.
  • A dated interview or official statement is the minimum standard before any claim about children is repeated.

What this means: both answers rest on missing evidence rather than on a denial, and that difference matters when a headline presents the question as settled.

How tall is Imogen Poots?

The research contains no verified height figure for Imogen Poots, so this article gives none. An estimate taken from a photo or a profile page would be a guess presented as a fact.

How old is Imogen Poots?

  • Born June 3, 1989, in Hammersmith, London, England, per IMDb (film credits database)
  • Her age depends on the current date, so this article states no age figure.
  • Age figures on aggregator pages go stale unless they carry a date.
What to watch

Profile pages that print an age without a date are a common source of stale figures, so the birth date is the number to check first.

The trade-off: leaving out a height figure protects readers from a guess, but it leaves a common search question without an answer.

Confirmed facts

  • Tammy Harris in 28 Weeks Later (2007), per Pop Culture Files (filmography database)
  • Linda Keith in Jimi: All Is by My Side (2013), per MovieStillsDB (film still database)

What’s unclear

  • A relationship with James Norton, reportedly linked by one wiki with no dated source
  • The V for Vendetta debut year: 2006 per Popular Timelines (timeline site), with no tiebreaker in the research
  • A 2013 Best Supporting Actress claim for The Look of Love, per Facts.net (trivia site), which no other source corroborates
  • Height: no verified figure
  • Children: no confirmed information
  • Net worth: no source in the research
  • Pronunciation: no sourced guide
  • Current age: depends on the date of publication

Poots was born in Hammersmith, London, England, to Fiona Goodall, a journalist, and Trevor Poots, a television producer. IMDb (film credits database)

IMDb biography record

Isabella “Izzy” Patterson, in Peter Bogdanovich’s She’s Funny That Way, appears among her listed credits. Pantheon (biographical profile site)

Pantheon profile listing

The filmography is the part of this profile a reader can lean on: the film credits, from 28 Weeks Later to Roadies, come from named databases that do not contradict one another on the roles. Her personal life is a different matter, since the research holds no dated primary source for a relationship, a height figure or any children. Until an official or established publication dates a record, readers should treat every personal-life claim about Imogen Poots as unconfirmed.
