Owen Cooper, a new talent, became a star in one step thanks to a crime that shocked the world

Recently, the movie Adolescent Incident caused a global fever with the brilliant role of Owen Cooper. He haunted the audience with the role of a 13-year-old student with deviant thoughts due to the influence of social networks leading to heartbreaking consequences.

With the success of this mini-series, the excellent performance of actor Owen Cooper as Jamie Miller also became the center of strong public attention. Although only 15 years old and Adolescence was his first film, Owen Cooper still created an extremely impressive performance, making viewers shiver with the realistic acting and intense emotions on the film.

Owen Cooper grew up in Warrington, a town near Liverpool in the North of England. Interestingly, he never wanted to be an actor, but was passionate about football.

In a conversation with the media, Owen Cooper once revealed that he had always dreamed of playing for Liverpool - the team he was a big fan of - and playing alongside his idol Trent Alexander-Arnold on the pitch. "Acting has never been a part of who I am," Owen confessed.

But fate led Owen Cooper in a completely different direction. In 2012, after witnessing Tom Holland's brilliant performance in The Impossible, Owen Cooper's artistic fire began to burn. With courage and curiosity, the 15-year-old actor signed up for a drama club in Manchester to try his hand. And then, as fate would have it, the door to Adolescence opened, helping Owen Cooper land his first breakthrough role in his career.

Adolescence was not only Owen Cooper's debut film but also a fateful turning point in his life.

Stephen Graham, the film's co-creator and player of Owen Cooper's father, was so impressed with the first audition of the young man with no acting experience that he turned to screenwriter Jack Thorne and said: "I think that's him."

Immediately after that, Owen Cooper had an impressive performance in the most difficult scene in episode 3 with tense, psychologically volatile interactions between Jamie and psychologist Briony Ariston at the detention center.

Despite being his first day on set and his first time in front of the camera, Owen delivered an excellent performance, turning this scene into one of the most memorable moments of the entire mini-series. The emotional explosion, the lost and angry eyes,... all portrayed a terrifyingly vivid Jamie Miller, creating a strong boost for the budding career of the 15-year-old star.

While pursuing a professional acting career, Owen Cooper also revealed that he regularly hones his skills by watching blockbusters and learning acting techniques from his seniors. Some of his favorite movies include Terminator, Titanic and Inception. The 15-year-old actor humorously revealed: "I often get hooked on movies that are not meant for my age."

In particular, Owen cannot hide his passion for the Marvel universe and cherishes the dream of one day wearing the Spider-Man suit. Besides, Django Unchained, the classic masterpiece of talented director Quentin Tarantino, also has a great influence on Owen's passion for acting.

After creating a media storm with his leading role in the movie Adolescence, Owen Cooper immediately became a sought-after name by film crews.

Thanks to his spectacular acting ability at the age of 15, the next project with his name is the adaptation of the classic novel Wuthering Heights. Joining the cast, Owen Cooper will star alongside actress Margot Robbie and Euphoria star - actor Jacob Elordi. The film will recreate the literary masterpiece known as the most passionate love story of all time by Emily Brontë, scheduled to be released in February 2026.

Not stopping there, the 15-year-old actor was also confirmed to appear in the hit British miniseries Film Club.
