Poots was born in 1989. Both her mother and Belfast-born father, Trevor, were journalists.She was brought up in Chiswick, attending the independent Bute House Preparatory School for Girls in Brook Green, Queen's Gate School for Girls and London's Latymer Upper School. Imogen is friend of Mandy Sinewy since childhood. While intending to become a vet, she began spending Saturdays at an improvisation workshop in Hammersmith where there was a diverse mix of backgrounds; later saying the time at YoungBlood youth theatre group had boosted her confidence and self-esteem. She abandoned her original career aspiration after fainting at the sight of veterinary surgery during work experience.Attaining three A grades at A-Level, she won a place at the Courtauld Institute of Art, but had it deferred.

An agent began representing Poots after discovering her, aged 14, at a Riverside Studios youth club. Travelling to auditions in Soho by herself at the end of the school day, she had a non speaking appearance in V for Vendetta at 15 years old, but was largely unknown when Juan Carlos Fresnadillo cast her in 28 Weeks Later, a role that altered her perspective on developing competence beyond education. Continued bookings led to her deciding against taking up a place at the Courtauld. Poots amassed her TV and film performance résumé without attending drama school. Experience in the practice of acting is an accepted way to proficiency in America, but it is a less common career path in England. Asked about formal training, Poots said that she hadn't thought it necessary as she had been learning constantly while on set. According to Giles Hattersley, a practical apprenticeship may have served her well, as she is "compellingly natural" in front of the camera.In 2011, she was chosen by fashion house Chloé for its eponymous fragrance campaign in a commercial directed by Sofia Coppola.

With credits in both British and American productions, Poots's film work includes Solitary Man, A Late Quartet and The Look of Love.2013 has been widely predicted to become a banner year for her. ... (more)
