Timeline

1992

Douglas John Booth (born 9 July 1992) is an English actor and musician.

2009

Booth's first professional role was in the children's adventure film From Time to Time (2009), directed by Julian Fellowes and starring Maggie Smith and Timothy Spall.

Following the film's release, Booth signed to the UTA talent agency for American-based representation.

Also in 2009 and 2010, Booth modelled in several Mario Testino-shot campaigns for the luxury fashion label Burberry; he starred in the Autumn 2009 campaign with Emma Watson, the Autumn 2010 campaign with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and the Burberry Sport fragrance campaign with Lily Donaldson.

2010

He first came to public attention through his performance as Boy George in the BBC Two film Worried About the Boy (2010).

He then had a minor role as Prince Eustace in the Channel 4 miniseries The Pillars of the Earth (2010), a medieval saga filmed in Budapest with Ian McShane and Donald Sutherland.

Booth rose to prominence in 2010 following his performance as the pop star Boy George in the BBC Two drama Worried About the Boy.

He underwent a physical transformation for the role, shaving off his eyebrows and wearing heavy makeup.

Booth met Boy George during filming, with the singer remarking: "He just gets it. There's something about him that reminds me of me when I was 17."

Writing in The Daily Telegraph, Ceri Radford said Booth delivered a "mesmerising" performance: "He offered a convincing portrayal of O'Dowd as a beautiful young man who oozed ambiguous sex appeal and protected his feelings with a carapace of prickly wit."

Mike Higgins of The Independent declared Booth "a discovery": "Moving, witty, he also got the singer's Wheezy enunciation down pat."

Filmed in 2010, when Booth was seventeen, the movie received a very limited theatrical release and unfavourable reviews.

Later that year, Booth read selected extracts from David Copperfield as part of Sky Arts's In Love With Dickens documentary; other contributors included Simon Callow and Miriam Margolyes.

2011

He went on to star in the BBC adaptations of Great Expectations and Christopher and His Kind (both 2011), Carlo Carlei's film adaptation of Romeo & Juliet (2013), and the Netflix biopic The Dirt (2019).

Booth next played the role of Pip in the BBC One adaptation of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations (2011), alongside Gillian Anderson and Ray Winstone.

Broadcast over the Christmas period, the miniseries was a huge ratings success.

Anne Billson of The Telegraph felt it was a misstep to cast someone "so distractingly lovely" in the role of Pip: "It’s not that Douglas Booth was bad, it’s just that one can’t imagine Dickens ever intended Pip to be more beautiful than Estella, who, after all, has been brought up to break men’s hearts."

Mike Hale of The New York Times dismissed Booth as "a CW-style actor whose exceptionally pretty face doesn't convey much beyond puzzlement and petulance."

Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times, however, found the actor's performance "haunting" while Emma Jones of The Huffington Post dismissed the "debate over the extreme prettiness of Douglas Booth", arguing that "Booth's beauty is only a backdrop to Pip's naivety."

Also in 2011, Booth appeared in the BBC film Christopher and His Kind, which explored novelist Christopher Isherwood's formative years in 1930s Berlin.

He played Heinz, a German street-sweeper who became the lover of Matt Smith's Isherwood.

2012

In 2012, Booth starred opposite Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore in the teen drama LOL.

He witnessed the paparazzi interest surrounding co-star Cyrus during filming: "It was bizarre and, interestingly, not at all glamorous."

2013

In 2013, Booth starred opposite Hailee Steinfeld in Carlo Carlei's film adaptation of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times praised Booth's memorable performance: "It's not so much that he makes a great Romeo; frankly DiCaprio's was better in Luhrmann's version, as was Leonard Whiting in Zeffirelli's … But it has been a while since a camera has so loved a face ... If anything, the movies in general are too intent on reducing Booth to that singular feature, when he is actually a fine actor."

2014

Booth also appeared in Darren Aronofsky's Noah and Lone Scherfig's The Riot Club (both 2014) and co-starred in The Wachowskis' Jupiter Ascending (2015).

Douglas John Booth was born in Greenwich, London, to Vivien (née De Cala), a painter, and Simon Booth, a shipping finance consultant and former managing director of both CitiGroup and Deutsche Bank's shipping finance divisions.

Booth's father is English, and his mother is of Spanish and Dutch ancestry.

His older sister, Abigail, is a Chelsea School of Art graduate.

Booth spent his early childhood in Greenwich and moved to Sevenoaks, Kent at the age of ten.

Booth is severely dyslexic and found it "very hard" to read or write up until the age of ten; he remains "a really slow reader".

He struggled at school, "having to put in double or triple the amount of effort as everyone else" but said the condition made him "more resilient in every sense".

He played the trumpet as a child.

Booth took his first major roles in musicals presented by the Sackville Children's Choir at the Stag Theatre, Sevenoaks.

He played Leader of the Rats in ''Rats!

The Musical, and Uncle Andrew in The Magician's Nephew''.

He further developed his interest in drama at the age of twelve, after starring in a school production of Agamemnon: "I found myself feeling really engaged for the first time ... I thought, 'I rather like being the centre of attention. This is where I want to be.'" By the age of thirteen, he was involved with the National Youth Theatre and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

Booth received both private and state education; he attended Solefield School, a boys' junior independent school in the town of Sevenoaks in Kent, followed by Bennett Memorial Diocesan School, a Church of England state Voluntary Aided school in the town of Royal Tunbridge Wells (Kent), and Lingfield Notre Dame School, an independent school in the village of Lingfield in Surrey.

Booth joined the Curtis Brown acting agency at the age of fifteen.

He won his first professional acting role at the age of sixteen and quit his AS levels in drama, media studies and English literature.
