German actress Luna Jordan has died at the age of 25. The award-winning star, best known for her roles in Polizeiruf 110 and Jenseits der Spree, died “suddenly and unexpectedly” on May 13, her agents confirmed in a statement on Monday (May 18). No cause of death has been publicly revealed. Just a few weeks before her death, it was announced that Jordan had landed the role of photographer Astrid Kirchherr in the upcoming Beatles biographical series<\/a> Hamburg Days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Born in Berlin, Jordan began acting at a young age and went on to appear in a string of German television dramas and films, including Der Bergdoktor, Wild Republic and Euphorie \u2013 the German remake of HBO’s Euphoria<\/a>. In 2022, the actress won the Austrian Film Award for Best Supporting Actress for her breakthrough role in Fuchs im Bau (Fox in a Hole).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

During her acceptance speech, she spoke openly about sexual abuse within the film and theatre industry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She said: “I am just 20 years old and I have already been a victim of sexual abuse on film sets and in theatres four times. That should not be normal, but it is.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jordan was also known to international audiences for her role as Neda in the hit Netflix<\/a> crime thriller series Schlafende Hunde (Sleeping Dog).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Earlier this year, Jordan also appeared in the NDR documentary Child Actors \u2013 The Price of Success, which was broadcast just days before her death.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In the documentary, she spoke candidly about the emotional toll of growing up in the entertainment industry and the immense pressures faced by young performers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She said: “I sometimes lay crying on the floor for half an hour and didn\u2019t know what was wrong with me. I can no longer destroy myself for such projects, otherwise I won\u2019t be able to do this job at 25.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jordan, who also wrote screenplays, was described as an “extraordinary talent who displayed a unique, dramatic intensity” by broadcaster NDR.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Tributes have since poured in for the young actress, with one writing on X: “R.I.P. wonderful Luna Jordan. What a terrible day.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Another said: “So much love for Luna Jordan. Apparently had to endure so much in her short life, her speech at the Austrian Film Awards remains unforgettable. RIP.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A third posted: “Luna Jordan was supposed to play Astrid Kirchherr in the Hamburg Days biopic. May she rest in peace, this is horrible.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
