CLAIM TO FAME Ezra’s movie break came with 2008’s Afterschoo­l but he really got noticed when he played the title role of creepy Kevin in 2011’s disturbing We Need To Talk about Kevin.

He went on to star in The Perks of Being a Wallflower and had a role in Trainwreck as well as the Stanford Prison Experiment. Now he’s joined the superhero league – he played The Flash (BELOW) alongside Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Henry Cavill and Jason Momoa in last year’s Justice League. NEXT UP He’ll star in the sequel to the 2016 sci-fi fantasy Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, based on the JK Rowling book.

They split in 2016 and Ezra is said to be single at the moment. With Twilight co-stars, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, who play her parents, and Taylor Lautner (far right).

‘When I came out, I was told I’d done a silly thing. I was thwarting my potential to be a leading man’ ‘The best advice I ever got was from Anne Hathaway. She told me to see [things] as a learning curve and not as a mistake’

CLAIM TO FAME The modelturne­d-actress shot to fame at the age of 12 playing Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson’s daughter, Renesmee Cullen, in the Twilight Saga: Part 1 & 2.

Since then she’s starred in the supernatur­al horror The Conjuring, and the sci-fi thriller Interstell­ar alongside Anne Hathaway and Matthew McConaughe­y.
