Julia Sawalha (born 9 September 1968) is an English actress. She provided the role for Ginger in Chicken Run.
She, along with co-CR star Jane Horrocks starred in Absolutely Fabulous.
In July 2020, she made a statement revealing Aardman Animations intended to recast her character in the upcoming sequel to Chicken Run, stating that she is now considered to sound too old, and commented "I have officially been plucked, stuffed & roasted". The decision was met with widespread criticism with some finding the decision ageist. She even released video clips online of her voicing the character again to prove her voice still sounded the same.
