At the official premiere of Scream 7 in Barcelona on February 26th, Neve Campbell, the main protagonist of the saga that turns 30 this 2026, sent a heartfelt message to the audience from Los Angeles. At 52 years old, Sidney Prescott, her iconic role, continues to exude an apparent innocent beauty and full capabilities until Ghostface gets on her nerves.
Before facing the reality of Hollywood, the actress came from two peaceful places like Guelph and Muskoka, relatively close to Toronto, surrounded by 1,600 lakes. What pleased her the most was connecting with nature on weekends in a cabin in the mountains.
Her childhood passion was ballet, but after numerous performances and due to various injuries, she was forced to quit. However, she channeled her frustration towards acting. She appeared in several Canadian series and starred in popular commercials, but in the early '90s, she decided to try her luck in Hollywood.
She landed her first role in the series Party of Five (1994-2000), where the actress received such good reviews that she became an essential part of the plot. Therefore, when she decided not to renew for a seventh season, the show was canceled. Neve wanted to do movies, and filming a series took up too much of her time.
Following the success of the first Scream movie (1996), the actress found her golden opportunity. Although she did not participate in the sixth installment due to salary disputes, in the last one, she earned seven million dollars. She is the ultimate scream queen.
After several failed relationships, this horror heroine has finally found emotional stability with the British-American actor JJ Feild (47), with whom she has not married and with whom she has two children, Caspian, born in 2012, and Raynor, whom they adopted in 2018 and who has inherited his mother's passion for dance.
When the latter arrived home, Neve posted a sweet video for her fans on Instagram confessing lovingly, "our 6-year-old son Caspian is over the moon and asks every morning: 'Can I hold my baby? Can I feed my baby? Can I play with my baby?' It's the most incredible thing we've experienced."
In an interview with People, the actress stated that if any of her children want to follow in her footsteps, they have her blessing. "If you feel you have to do it, it's magical. Challenging, but magical."
Thanks to her partner, she discovered a beautiful town called Aups in the French Provence where JJ used to have the most fun moments of his childhood. The actress was so enchanted by its landscapes, like the Verdon Gorges and the Lac de Sainte Croix, that every two years they vacation in the area.
Prior to this, Neve went through the altar twice, both times with actors. From 1995 to 1998, she was with Jeff Colt and from 2005 to 2010, she was with John Light. Tired of Hollywood, with her second husband, she moved to London, where she could enjoy the tranquility and good manners of British society. Additionally, being in the British capital allowed her to visit her mother frequently, as at that time she lived in Amsterdam.
With 1.2 million euros in revenue during its first weekend, Scream 7 has become the highest-grossing film in our country.
