Alisha Weir is an actress and singer quickly making her mark in the entertainment industry. She grew up in the South Dublin suburb of Knocklyon, where her passion for the arts blossomed at a young age. Inspired by her older sisters' drama classes, she joined in on the fun and soon discovered her own talent for acting.

Alisha cut her teeth on stage, appearing in productions like "Once" at Dublin's Olympia Theatre. Her captivating stage presence even landed her a spot on Ireland's popular "The Late Late Toy Show," where she wowed audiences with a rendition of Justin Timberlake's "True Colors."

Her big break came in 2018 when she made her feature film debut in the thriller "Don't Leave Home," quickly followed by a role in the crime drama "Darklands." Her on-screen presence and natural talent couldn't go unnoticed for long.

At just eleven years old, Alisha snagged the coveted role of Matilda Wormwood in the film adaptation of the hit musical "Matilda." With her infectious energy and undeniable talent, she brought the beloved character to life on screen.

Her star continues to rise as she takes on the lead in the 2024 horror flick "Abigail." And as if that wasn't enough, she'll also be lending her voice to the lead role opposite Ewan McGregor in the animated feature "The Land of Sometimes."

Alisha Weir is definitely a force to be reckoned with. With her impressive range and dedication to her craft, there's no doubt she'll continue to shine for years to come.
