Lydia Fox (actress)

Lydia Fox (born 1979) is an English film, television, and stage actress and producer. She is also known by her married name, Lydia Ayoade.

The only daughter of James Fox and Mary Elizabeth Piper, she has four brothers, including the actors Laurence and Jack Fox. Her father's parents were the theatrical agent Robin Fox and the actress Angela Worthington, for whom Noël Coward wrote the song "Don't Put Your Daughter on the Stage, Mrs Worthington". The Worthingtons did not have any daughters; their two granddaughters, Lydia included, are actresses. Coward possibly used the comedy strategy wherein a notable person is flagged to be the name in a joke precisely because the facts prove that it is a joke.

Fox was educated at the University of Cambridge. While there, in 2001 she played Juliet in a Marlowe Society production of Romeo and Juliet, opposite Tom Hiddleston, to be reviewed as "a slightly nonchalant Juliet".

On 8 September 2007 Fox married the actor, writer, director and comedian Richard Ayoade. They have two daughters, Esme Bibi (born 2009) and Ida.
