Brenton Thwaites

Brenton Thwaites is a popular Australian actor, remembered by the audience for the films The Oculus, The Blue Lagoon, Maleficent, The Gods of Egypt, etc.

Unfortunately, at some points in the biography of Brenton Thwaites there are “blank spots”. The actor did not tell in detail in an interview how his childhood and adolescence went.

It is known that the guy grew up in sunny Australia in the state of Queensland. He was born on August 10, 1989 in the tourist town of Cairns, located at the foot of the mountain and rich in attractions, humid tropics, and sandy beaches on the Coral Sea coast. The boy often went out into the open air, sunbathed and was fond of surfing. He was not addicted to gadgets and computer games, but preferred to spend time with friends in nature.

Thwaites grew up and was raised with his sister Stacy, his father's name is Peter, and his mother is Fiona. Who the actor's parents worked for is still a mystery.

According to Brenton, as a child, he gravitated towards creativity, but still dreamed of the heroic work of a firefighter or policeman. The young boy knew how to make adults laugh with funny stories and loved to shoot short films on his father's old video camera, but he regarded these hobbies as a hobby. The desire to conquer the sky of cinema came to Brenton spontaneously: at one point he realized that only in cinema can a person feel himself in any form, "try on" one or another character, and also experience someone else's fate.

When the young man was 16 years old, he made his debut as an actor: he performed on the stage of the theater, in the classic production of Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet". According to the guy's recollections, the first appearance on the stage was not easy for him: Brenton was so agitated that minutes before the start of the performance he began to feel nauseous, and he completely forgot the words of the text. However, by the middle of the performance, the guy “gathered all his strength into a fist” and began to behave confidently in front of the audience, and later began to feel like a fish in water.

Therefore, after school, Thwaites without hesitation enters the Queensland University of Technology, where he learns the basics of acting. During his studies, Brenton managed to play a cameo role in the independent film Power Over You (2010), but the little-known picture did not bring popularity to the young actor.

While the filmography of Brenton Thwaites is not as great as that of other Hollywood stars, the actor has very remarkable works in his arsenal that will be remembered by both Western and Russian audiences.

At the beginning of his acting career, the brown-eyed guy took part in the famous TV series "Marine Patrol" (2007-2011), where he appeared in a cameo role. In 2010-2011, Thwaites played Stu Henderson in Australia's longest running and controversial soap opera, Home to the Road, which began in 1988.

In 2011, Brenton played Luke Gallagher in the TV series Slides, which follows the life of a typical 17-year-old teenager. This multi-part film is still popular among young people, some even draw an analogy with the incomparable TV series "Skins".

In 2012, director Mikael Salomon delighted moviegoers with a remake of the film of the same name "Blue Lagoon", where Thwaites appeared in the title role of handsome Dean. The plot of the adventure film tells how Dean and Emmaline (Indiana Evans), by chance, were left alone on an uninhabited island in the Caribbean, where they tried to survive for a hundred days.

Working in front of the director's cameras, Brenton has shown that he is capable of acting in more than just romantic dramas and comedy series. In 2013, he appeared in one of Mike Flanagan's most gripping horror films, The Oculus. The guy got used to the role and successfully demonstrated to the audience anger, fear, and despair.

The plot of the picture tells about an ominous mirror that mystically influenced the mind of people. The antique object was brought by the programmer Alan to a new house, after which strange and frightening things happened in the Russell family.

In the mystical picture, the actor played Tim Russell, who was in a psychiatric hospital after the death of his parents. He and his sister Kayleigh (Karen Gillan) have vowed to destroy the mirror that has caused much trouble.

In 2013, Thwaites starred in the film Young Blood, directed by Julius Avery. In the action movie, a handsome guy turned into a shaven-headed bandit who longs for a large gold mine, but changes his outlook after meeting his beloved.

On one stage, Brenton worked with Ewan McGregor, Alicia Vikander, Matt Flannagan and other famous actors. According to rumors, the tall guy with a height of 187 cm had to come to the casting 10 times to get the coveted role.

In 2014, Thwaites starred in the family film Maleficent, an original interpretation of Charles Perrault's fairy tale The Sleeping Beauty. In this picture, the guy played the role of Prince Philip, and the main "villain" was played by Angelina Jolie.

The young actor does not like to talk about his personal life. It is known that after the filming of Blue Lagoon, the on-screen love of Dean and Emmaline turned into real feelings: Brenton began dating his colleague on the set, Indiana Evans. True, a month later, the relationship of the lovers suffered a fiasco.

After the guy broke up with the blonde, the paparazzi did not observe the actor with his new girlfriend for a long time. Therefore, the sensation-hungry media instantly attributed to Brenton an unconventional sexual orientation.

But Thwaites dispelled these rumors, as it soon became known that his girlfriend was Chloe Pacey. The lovers live in a civil marriage, and in 2016 the actor became a father: he had a lovely daughter, Birdie.

In 2016, Brenton Thwaites played the lead role of the thief Beck in the science fiction film by Alex Proyas "Gods of Egypt". His colleagues in the shop were Geoffrey Rush, Gerard Butler, Nikolai Coster-Waldau, Elodie Jung and others.

In 2017, the actor delighted sophisticated moviegoers with a leading role in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. In the adventure film, Thwaites played Henry Turner, the son of Will (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth (Keira Knightley). The seductive Kaya Scodelario also appeared in this film.

The actor has also played notable roles in several films in post-production status: An Interview with God, Office Uprising and Phantoms of War. On his Instagram page, the actor posts interesting photos and videos from the filming.
