Early life

Egerton's parents divorced when he was two, and he subsequently moved with his mother to the Welsh island of Anglesey, where he went to primary school. [3] [5] The family then relocated to Aberystwyth when he was 12 years old. [3] He became lonely due to losing childhood friends. [8] He began acting at age 15, [9] which he later explained was "as much about trying to be social and make friends as it was an interest in acting". [8] He attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, from which he graduated in 2012. [9]

Career

Early work and Kingsman films (2012–2018)

[9] The film was released in 2019, receiving positive reviews, and the actor's portrayal of John earned praise. [22] [23] The Washington Post 's Ann Hornaday opined that Egerton "exerts a steadying, singularly charismatic force" in the role, while Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair described his portrayal as "nuanced and emotionally intelligent while still loose, carried with verve and agility". [24] [25] Egerton won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for his performance. [26] He also garnered a British Academy Film Award nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role and a Grammy Award nomination for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media for his work on the film's soundtrack. [27] [28] [29] That same year, Egerton narrated the audiobook version of John's autobiography, Me , and the two performed on stage together several times. [30] [31]

Also in 2019, Egerton voiced Moomintroll in the animated series Moominvalley and Rian in the fantasy series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance . [32] [33] He reprised the role of Johnny in Sing 2 , which released in 2021. [34] Egerton starred in the play Cock by Mike Bartlett. Directed by Marianne Elliott and held at the Ambassadors Theatre in the West End, the production marked his West End debut.

[36] [37] The production of Cock garnered mixed critical reception, with Egerton's performance gaining praise.

[8] Reviewing the series, Saloni Gajjar of The A.V. Club wrote that Egerton "aces Jimmy's duality while switching from being overtly confident to silently breaking down". [40] He received a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. [41] The following year, Egerton portrayed entrepreneur Henk Rogers in the biographical film Tetris , about the video game of the same name, which also released on Apple TV+.

[7] [47] Following speculation about his sexuality, Egerton explained that it is "a joy to support" his gay friends, though he is not himself gay. [48] However, as a teenager, Egerton questioned whether he was gay and explained that he felt "very panicked and upset about how I would be perceived". [49]
