Ever since Netflix's Adolescence Adolescence hit our screens one week ago, there's been one name on everyone's lips: Owen Cooper.
The teenage actor had never been on a TV or film set before taking part in the project alongside Stephen Graham , Ashley Walters and Erin Doherty.
Furthermore, he took on the main part of Jamie Miller, a 13-year-old boy who has been charged with killing another student at his school.
Over the course of four episodes, we discover that Katie Leonard turned down Miller’s romantic advances, leading him to seek vengeance after being influenced by the 'Men\'s Rights Movement'. This storyline has been recognized as a disturbing reflection of real-life events.
Should the stakes not have been high enough already, viewers will understand that every single episode is filmed in one unbroken take. This implies that should anything go awry during that full hour of shooting, the entire episode must begin anew.
Netflix disclosed that several episodes required as many as 16 retakes, even though only 10 were initially anticipated per episode over the span of five days.
The young actor has received high praise for his performance, including his co-star Graham who calls it “the biggest achievement” of Adolescence , and he's since been cast in a number of other roles, including the BBC series Film Club, starring White Lotus ’s Aimee Lou Wood, and as the young Heathcliff in Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights alongside Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi.
He's even been tipped for a BAFTA off the back of the Netflix hit.
But how old is Owen Cooper?
Despite how much he's achieved in such a short space of time, many will be surprised to learn that Owen Cooper is just 15 years old.
This time last year, he was still kicking a football around the council estate where he lives with Noreen, dad Andy and one of his older brothers, Ollie, 20.
"I never wanted to be an actor," Cooper admitted in a recent interview, although now insists he'd love to play Spider-Man one day.
This is just the start of what's set to be a huge career for the youngster - and we can't wait.
