Jasmin Savoy Brown has climbed to fame over the last couple years, with her biggest debut yet in the 2023 horror Scream VI. Fans may also know her from Yellowjackets or The Leftovers. Her fun-loving attitude has garnered her a huge fan base, especially within the LGBTQIA community.
We can only see her popularity amongst the community growing, so here are a few facts you may not know about Jasmin!

She loves LGBTQIA storytelling
She created and hosted the podcast The Homo Schedule with fellow Yellowjackets star Liv Hewson. Each episode would invite creative queer folks to share their stories about being LGBTQIA.
She actually cut her hair in Yellowjackets
Instead of using a wig for the infamous haircut scene, Jasmin decided to take the plunge and cut her own hair on camera. She told The Hollywood Reporter that it had actually been her idea to have Taissa cut her hair, and felt it was important to connect with her character.
