Early life

Lowden was born on 2 June 1990 in Chelmsford, Essex, [1] the son of Gordon and Jacquie Lowden. [2] [3] He grew up in the Scottish village of Oxton. [3] [4] In a 2019 interview, he explained: "I'm an IVF baby. And so is my brother. Down there [England] was one of the few places that was doing it." [3] His younger brother, Calum, became a ballet dancer from a very early age at the Manor School of Ballet in Edinburgh, [5] [6] and later trained at the English National Ballet School and the Royal Ballet School in London; as of 2016, he is a first soloist at the Royal Swedish Ballet. [7] [8] As a child, Lowden attended the dance classes at Manor School of Ballet as well, but found he was better at, and more suited to, acting. [5] [6] [9] [10] He has stated that his personal ambition since childhood was to be a footballer. [3]

When he was 10 Lowden's parents enrolled him in the Scottish Youth Theatre in Edinburgh. [11] At age 12 he played John in a Peter Pan pantomime at the King's Theatre, Edinburgh. [11] He attended Earlston High School, where he starred as Buddy Holly in Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story and performed in various concerts. [12] [13] [14] His determination to become a professional actor came from seeing the play Black Watch on its first run in 2007. [15] [16] While in high school, he studied during summer school at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London. [13] He also performed regularly at the Galashiels Amateur Operatic Society, where he played the lead in a 2008 production of The Boy Friend . [17] [13] Lowden received a BA in acting from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow in 2011. [13] [18] [19]

[4] He and the rest of the cast underwent gruelling physical training during the rehearsals period to get into military shape. [15]

The Black Watch production toured to London (Barbican), Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Belfast, and in the U.S. to New York City, Washington, Chicago, Austin, and Chapel Hill. [4] [23] UK reviewers deemed Lowden "a clearly hugely promising young actor" [24] "who carries off this amazing start to his career with assurance and maturity". [25] In the U.S., The Washington Post described him as "quietly charismatic" and a "stand-out"; [26] this was echoed by the Chicago Sun-Times , which called him "easily charismatic"; [27] and the Chicago Tribune noted his "rich and finely detailed work". [28]
