As central character Jesminder ‘Jess’ Bhamra, Nagra played the daughter of British Indian Sikhs living in Hounslow who are reluctant to let her pursue her passion for football, in part due to fear of racism. Playing behind their backs, Jess gets the chance to make friends, enjoy the possibility of a relationship and look at pursuing football profes...
Knightley famously scored her big break with Bend It Like Beckham, having previously appeared in a small role as Padmé Amidala’s handmaid in Star WarsEpisode I: The Phantom Menace, and helmed Disney movie The Princess of Thieves. As Jules, Knightley was a best friend to Jess as well as a possible love rival, whose interfering mother Paula (Juliet S...
Jonathan Rhys Meyers was the object of many girls’ fantasies as sympathetic Irish football coach Joe, who finds himself falling for Jess even as he is tough on her, pushing her to fulfil the dreams he missed out on due to injury. Meyers had been acting since 1994 and scored his first major role in 1998’s Velvet Goldmine opposite Ewan McGregor, Toni...
Did you remember this one? Lewis appeared as Jules and Jess’s teammate Marlena ‘Mel’ Goines in Bend It Like Beckham. Her short-lived acting career began as she dipped her toe into other waters following the break-up of her hugely successful group All Saints in 2001. Lewis and Melanie Blatt founded All Saints in 1993, before being joined by sisters ...
Appearing as Jess’s firm but ultimately fair cricket-loving dad, Mohaan Singh Bhamra, Kher is a prolific actor who has appeared in over 500 films, predominantly in Hindi. Making his acting debut in Bollywood in 1984, Kher, 67, has now won 12 Filmfare Awards out of a whopping 20 nominations, at India’s equivalent to the Oscars. He has also made othe...
Stevenson made a splash as glamorous mum Paula to Knightley’s tomboy daughter Jules, who is baffled by the differences between the two of them and famously rather dramatically jumps to the wrong conclusion about the nature of Jess and Jules’s relationship. A Rada-trained actress, Stevenson was already a force to be reckoned with ahead of Bend It Li...
It’s hard to forget Pinky’s ‘Laters!’ catchphrase, even many years after, with Panjabi proving a scene-stealer as Jess’s much girlier older sister. About to get married, her wedding plays out as the backdrop to some of the film’s climactic scenes. As with co-star Nagra, 49-year-old Panjabi is someone who also enjoyed major success in the US followi...
Okay, so Beckham never actually made an appearance in the film, save for archive footage, but it was imbued with his spirit and skill, as shown by the focus on Jess’s goal to, indeed, bend it like Beckham (which she did). In 2002 when it came out, Beckham was still at Manchester United, where he would make 265 appearances in total, and current capt...
