Life and career

Froseth was born in the United States to Norwegian parents and her early life was spent traveling back and forth between Oslo, Norway and New Jersey due to her father's work.[3]

She started modeling after being discovered on a catwalk audition at Ski Storsenter in Norway,[1][4] and was also scouted by IMG Models while in New Jersey at a local mall fashion show.[5] She has modelled for brands such as Armani, Juicy Couture, Miu Miu and H&M.

Her acting career began when a casting director found her photos and encouraged her to audition for the film adaptation of John Green's novel Looking for Alaska. This film adaptation was never made. In 2016, she was cast in the pilot for a potential series adaptation of Let the Right One In.[6] Froseth began her acting career with the 2017 film Rebel in the Rye.[2][7] In 2018, she starred in two Netflix movies, Sierra Burgess Is a Loser[8] and Apostle, and a Sky mini-series, The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair.

On 9 May 2018, it was announced that Hulu would be adapting the John Green novel Looking for Alaska into an 8-episode miniseries.[9] On 30 October 2018, John Green announced Kristine Froseth would be playing Alaska Young, one of the main characters.[10]
