Rising star Owen Cooper, aged 15, has achieved significant recognition on both sides of the Atlantic, recently appearing on the cover of New York Magazine. His performance in the four-part Netflix drama 'Adolescence' has earned him critical praise and led to a stratospheric rise in fame.

The drama 'Adolescence' was a standout at the 2025 Rose d'Or Awards, clinching awards for Drama, Emerging Talent, and the coveted Golden Rose. Judges hailed the series as an 'extraordinary, sector-changing achievement' and the 'show of the year' for its innovative storytelling and its exploration of vital contemporary issues.
