After historic Emmys win, he’ll be hitting movie screens next year \u2014 alongside Margot Robbie"},"content":{"rendered":"

Owen Cooper is an Emmy winner<\/a> \u2014 a historic one at that. The 15-year-old actor, who starred in the Netflix series Adolescence as a young boy who is arrested for a horrific crime, became the youngest ever male winner across all acting categories when he took home the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.<\/p>\n

Cooper was a complete unknown when he was cast in Adolescence \u2014 the streaming show was his first acting gig ever. In an interview with Variety<\/a> back in March, when the show first premiered, he said, \u201cI only really wanted to start acting a couple of years ago. It\u2019s not been long. I grew up wanting to be a footballer. I don\u2019t know what it was that made me want to do it, but I just wanted to do it. Then I went to lessons and enjoyed it and eventually got a self-tape request. Everything came from that, really.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, the question many have for Cooper is \u2026 what\u2019s next?<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll team up with another Emmy nominee<\/p>\n

Cooper is next slated to appear in Film Club, an upcoming BBC series that was cowritten by White Lotus Emmy nominee Aimee Lou Wood, who will also star in the show. The romantic comedy series follows a woman, played by Wood, who hosts a \u201cfilm club\u201d in her garage with her best friend Noa (Nabhaan Rizwan) \u2014 whom she is secretly in love with and who is potentially taking a job that will separate them. Cooper plays Wood\u2019s neighbor, Dominic.<\/p>\n

In a March interview with Vogue<\/a>, he called Wood \u201cprobably one of the funniest people I\u2019ve ever met.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s starring in Wuthering Heights<\/p>\n

Cooper\u2019s first big screen role is a major one: He\u2019ll appear as a young Heathcliff in Promising Young Woman and Saltburn director Emerald Fennell\u2019s Wuthering Heights adaptation. He told Variety<\/a> that the role came after Stephen Graham, his costar on Adolescence, recommended him to his agent, who watched the first episode of Adolescence and pushed him for the Wuthering Heights role.<\/p>\n

Of his costars Jacob Elordi, who plays the older version of Cooper\u2019s character, and Margot Robbie, who portrays Catherine Earnshaw, Cooper told Variety, \u201cJacob\u2019s lovely. He\u2019s always chatting to everyone. And same as Margot. Margot is lovely as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cooper has hinted at what he wants to do next<\/p>\n

Could an action movie be in Cooper\u2019s future? He told Vogue<\/a> in March that he would \u201clove\u201d to \u201cdo stunts\u201d for an upcoming role. \u201cProbably not like Tom Cruise,\u201d Cooper said. \u201cI\u2019m scared enough going on roller-coasters, let alone hanging off the side of a plane. But jumping off the side of a cliff into the water? I could probably do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also expressed admiration for the work of Leonardo DiCaprio, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. And in an April interview with the Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, he called Jake Gyllenhaal his favorite actor of all time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Owen Cooper is an Emmy winner \u2014 a historic one at that.
