Who am I?

-

I was born in London in 1986. I was a shy child but loved music and by the age of six, I was learning the piano and guitar. When I was a teenager, Dad encouraged me to join a drama club to help my self-confidence. After being spotted by an agent, in 2004, I won a small part in the film VanityFair, with Reese Witherspoo­n. A year later, I appeared in the fourth HarryPotte­r movie as Cedric Diggory. The film increased my profile and I starred in other British pictures. Just as I was considerin­g giving up acting and going to university, I got a call to audition in Hollywood. That gig fell through and instead I tried out for a vampire movie. I was the last of thousands to try for the role and was amazed when I got the lead part. The film was a huge success and spawned four sequels, making me a heartthrob. Since then, I’ve establishe­d myself as a true leading man in dramas including BelAmi, TheLostCit­yofZ and my latest film, HighLife. The face of the fashion label Dior, who am I? SOLUTION NEXT WEEK
