Eight rows, one pattern: the verifiable record is strongest on dates and roles and thinnest on the personal details people search for most.

Who is Felicity Jones and where was she born?

Felicity Jones was born on 17 October 1983 in Birmingham, England, and most sources in the research agree on that date. Her acting started early: she began at age 11 at Central Junior Television, an after-school workshop funded by Central Television, according to Wikipedia (encyclopedia).

• 1996: first screen role at age 12, in The Treasure Seekers, per IMDb (film database)
• 1998–1999: Ethel Hallow in The Worst Witch, per Rotten Tomatoes (review aggregator)
• 2007: Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey, according to The Famous People (biography site)

The Worst Witch is where the sources diverge. According to Union Films (distributor profile), Katie Allen took over Ethel Hallow for series two and three. Wikipedia instead says Jones returned for the 2001 sequel, Weirdsister College.

How old is Felicity Jones?

• Age is calculated from the 17 October 1983 birth date, not taken from a separate source.
• She was 41 on 17 October 2024 and turns 42 on 17 October 2025.
• Recalculate on the publication date before the figure goes live.

The birth date is not unanimous. Union Films (distributor profile) lists 19 January 1984, a single outlier against the other sources.

How tall is Felicity Jones?

• No height figure appears in the research for this article.
• A height should be published only when a named source states it.

This article reports no height, because none of the sources reviewed gives one.

What is Felicity Jones’ net worth?

• No verified net worth figure appears in the research.
• Any estimate needs a named, dated source before it can be published.

What is Felicity Jones’ ethnicity?

The research for this article does not state Felicity Jones’ ethnicity, and this piece will not infer it from her name, appearance or birthplace.

The research does support nationality and place. It describes her as a British actress, and Rotten Tomatoes (review aggregator) notes that she is best known to UK audiences for The Worst Witch and her long-running role on BBC Radio 4’s The Archers.

• Nationality: British, as described across the research sources
• Birthplace: Birmingham, England, per Wikipedia (encyclopedia)
• Ethnicity: not stated in any source reviewed

What this means: a verified answer on ethnicity would need an interview or biography in which she speaks about her background on the record. The research contains neither.

Is Felicity Jones in Game of Thrones?

The research supplied for this article contains no Game of Thrones credit, so the verified answer is unconfirmed rather than no. Check the full credits list on IMDb (film database) against the HBO cast record before publishing a yes or no.

• Verification step: HBO cast record and IMDb full credits
• Status in this article: not confirmed
• Reason: no Game of Thrones entry appears in any source reviewed

The trade-off: a flat denial would overstate what the research shows, while a yes would need a credit line that nobody in this research has verified.

What movies has Felicity Jones appeared in?

Her film work runs from a 2011 indie drama to a 2024 Oscar-nominated film. The titles with the firmest sourcing are Rogue One, The Theory of Everything and The Brutalist.

• 2011: Like Crazy, as Anna opposite Anton Yelchin, directed by Drake Doremus, per Union Films (distributor profile); Special Jury Prize (Dramatic) at Sundance, per PDA Speakers (speaker bureau)
• 2014: The Theory of Everything, as Jane Hawking, with a Best Actress Oscar nomination (Wikipedia (encyclopedia))
• 2014: The Amazing Spider-Man 2, as Felicia Hardy, released 2 May 2014 (Wikipedia (encyclopedia))
• 2016: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, as Jyn Erso (Wikipedia (encyclopedia))
• 2018: On the Basis of Sex, as Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Rotten Tomatoes (review aggregator))
• 2024: The Brutalist, as Erzsébet Tóth, with a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination (Wikipedia (encyclopedia))

What role did Felicity Jones play in Rogue One?

• Role: Jyn Erso in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
• Casting: announced December 2016, with Gareth Edwards directing, via Wikipedia (encyclopedia)
• Release: December 2016, with worldwide earnings above $1 billion, via Wikipedia (encyclopedia)
• A $1.06B worldwide gross is listed by What’s After The Movie (box office database)

Her agent recommended the role to her, and she enjoyed the character’s search for an identity, drawing inspiration in her movements from Ronda Rousey.

Which film earned Felicity Jones an Academy Award nomination?

• The Theory of Everything (2015, 87th Academy Awards): Best Actress nomination for Jane Hawking
• The same role also earned BAFTA, Golden Globe, Critics’ Choice and SAG nominations (Wikipedia (encyclopedia))
• The Brutalist (2024): Best Supporting Actress nomination for Erzsébet Tóth (Wikipedia (encyclopedia))

According to Martin CID (talent profile), she plays the wife of Adrien Brody’s Hungarian-Jewish architect in The Brutalist, which Brady Corbet directed.

The pattern: her filmography is broad enough to support a long screen career, but the awards claims are where sourcing is thinnest and most often copied.

What happened to Felicity Jones?

The research set contains no report of a specific event involving Felicity Jones, so this article confirms no recent incident. The most recent credit it does list is a role in Train Dreams (2025), playing Gladys Grainer, according to Wikipedia (encyclopedia).

Where is Felicity Jones now?

• Latest credit in the research: Train Dreams (2025), as Gladys Grainer
• Recent personal news: no confirmed event in the sources reviewed
• Next step: check Tier 2 news outlets before publishing any status claim

Does Felicity Jones have an official Instagram account?

• The research returned one Instagram result, and it is a fan-run account.
• No official profile is confirmed in the sources reviewed.

A marriage to director Charles Guard in 2018 is reported by Famous Birthdays (birthday database), but that claim has low confidence and stays off the confirmed list.

The catch: unverified personal details spread faster than verified credits, so the absence of a confirmed recent event is itself the finding.

The research has one named speaker, and her statement is a paraphrase rather than a verbatim line.

She often used Wookieepedia to conduct research for her role.

For readers searching her name, the choice is clear: treat the birth date, the Rogue One role and the 2015 Best Actress nomination as settled, and hold age, height, net worth and marriage until a named source publishes them. Otherwise the next profile you read may simply repeat the mix-up with Emily Blunt, Emilia Jones or Felicity Montagu.
