Natalie Cousteau

Natalie Cousteau is a British actress represented by Nic Knight Management. She has worked in both film and television across the United Kingdom and internationally, with her profile rising considerably in the mid-2020s.

In Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024), Cousteau portrayed Dadi, the last living descendant of the Fire Masters, an ancient band of roving spirit catchers who had battled paranormal threats across millennia. In mid-July 1904, Dadi donned her Fire Master armor and infiltrated the Manhattan Adventurers Society in New York City to reseal the powerful entity Garraka inside the Orb of Garraka after Garraka was accidentally freed during a gathering there. She survived the confrontation and, through means the film leaves unexplained, lived well beyond 120 years, settling in an apartment in Queens where she kept the Orb hidden in a brass-lined secret room behind her pantry. The brass was believed by the Fire Masters to be a magical alloy capable of neutralizing Garraka's ability to reach out to other ghosts. Dadi was the last line of defense against Garraka should he escape, but she died in 2024 before the events of the film unfold, and her grandson Nadeem Razmaadi unknowingly sold the orb to Ray Stantz. Hook and Ladder Company 8, who responded to the Society in 1904, also appears in the same flashback sequence; their firefighters are played by other cast members including Samuel Greco.

Beyond the Ghostbusters franchise, Cousteau appeared in the crime drama series MobLand (2025) as the Home Secretary and secured a role in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026), the sequel to Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later universe. Her additional screen credits include Sumotherhood and the reality hybrid series Deep Fake Love.
