Lydia Rose Bewley: The Funny Mum We’d Actually Have a Brew With

Lydia Rose Bewley: The Funny Mum We’d Actually Have a Brew With

By Darling Mellow · · For Mums

If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at this whole mum-life thing while laughing through the chaos, then Lydia Rose Bewley is your kind of people. Best known for playing Bunny in Drifters and Jane in The Inbetweeners movies, Lydia is proof you can be loud, hilarious, and wildly human – all while raising two kids and refusing to shrink yourself.She’s not just another polished celeb with a nanny squad and a publicist-approved quote. She’s messy, magnetic, and more “mum in the school WhatsApp” than red carpet robot. And we love her for it.

From Comedy Queen to Mum Machine

Lydia trained at the Oxford School of Drama and smashed through British telly’s comedy scene in Plebs, Drifters and more recently Persuasion. But behind the laughs, she’s navigating toddler tantrums, mum guilt, and all the unfiltered bits we’re not supposed to post on Instagram.

She’s open about body image, mental health, and the emotional minefield that comes with being a mum who still wants a career. We don’t just want to be her – we want to put the kettle on and vent with her.

Why We’re Writing About Lydia Rose Bewley

Because *representation matters*. Because not all celebrity mums need a beige aesthetic and a Peloton sponsorship. Because Lydia reminds us that motherhood doesn’t erase identity – it adds to it.

And honestly, if more media showed mums like her, maybe we’d all breathe a bit easier about not having our lives “together.”

Where You Might Know Her From

  • Drifters – Bunny (2013–2016)
  • The Inbetweeners Movies – Jane (2011 & 2014)
  • Plebs – Metella
  • Persuasion (Netflix) – Mrs Penelope Clay
