Adolescence star Owen Cooper gave a nod to Liverpool Football Club after he won at the Golden Globe film and TV awards.<\/p>\n

The 16-year-old rounded off his acceptance speech for best supporting actor<\/a> with an “You’ll never walk alone” club anthem reference.<\/p>\n

The Warrington-born teenager also joked at the Los Angeles award ceremony, that he had had an “embarrassing” start to his acting career as the only boy in his drama class.<\/p>\n

In September, he became the youngest male actor to win an Emmy award <\/a>for his portrayal of a schoolboy accused of murdering a classmate in the Netflix drama.<\/p>\n

On accepting his award, the teenage actor said: “Standing here at the Golden Globes does not feel real whatsoever. <\/p>\n

“What an incredible journey me and my family have been put through.”<\/p>\n

He added: “What started off as what I thought I might be OK at, I might be awful at, I took a risk and I went to drama classes, I was the only boy there, it was embarrassing but I got through it.<\/p>\n

“But I’m still very much an apprentice, I’m still learning every day, I’m still every day learning from the people sat in front of me who have inspired me. <\/p>\n

“I wouldn’t be here without you guys.<\/p>\n

“This is mad, what is going on?”<\/p>\n

He wrapped up the speech saying: “Bring on 2026. You’ll never walk alone.”<\/p>\n

His fellow Adolescence actors also picked up gongs for the TV drama.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Adolescence star Owen Cooper gave a nod to Liverpool Football Club after he won at the Golden Globe…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":241282,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-241281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=241281"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241281\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/241282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=241281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=241281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=241281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
