Chad Michael Murray

Chad Michael Murray is a famous American actor. Glory to the artist came after the release of the films "Freaky Friday", "The Story of Cinderella" and the series "One Tree Hill". Today he regularly appears in new interesting projects, publishes a book and brings up two children.

American actor Chad Michael Murray was born on August 24, 1981 in Buffalo. He grew up in a large family, where, besides him, there were five more children - brothers Rex, Nick, Brandon, Tyler and sister Shannon. The boy's father worked as an airline dispatcher, his mother was a housewife.

For ten years everything was fine, and then the mother left her family and left. She appeared in her son's life many years later, when Murray had already become a famous actor. A warm meeting did not work out - Chad did not forgive his mother for leaving the family as a child, and slammed the doors in front of her.

As a child, he loved to arrange theatrical performances for home. Pediophobia did not prevent him either - he had experienced fear of dolls since childhood. Chad Michael Murray's grandmother collected porcelain dolls, when the grandson came to visit her, he could not be in the same room with them - the frozen eyes of the toys frightened the child.

The guy's second hobby was football. One day while playing, Chad injured his leg and was hospitalized. In the ward, he had time to dream about the future. Family life was difficult, money was constantly lacking, so Chad Michael had to earn money. He worked as a newspaper peddler, dispatcher for a car company.

At the hospital, Murray met a nurse who moonlighted as a model. She convinced the guy to try himself in the modeling business after recovering. Chad followed the advice. Two years later, he won the right to free tuition at the Buffalo Model School. Soon, modeling agents drew attention to the young man - in 1999 he went to conquer Hollywood. There, Chad Michael Murray advertised brand products, and in his free time he got involved in the cinema.

It is interesting that the future celebrity earned his first money by distributing newspapers. Then he got the position of a doorman at a bakery, and a little later - a dispatcher at an auto company. So the artist's creative biography took shape gradually.

On screen, he made his debut in cameo roles in the TV series Diagnosis: Murder and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

Murray got his first serious role in 2003. It was Freaky Friday, in which he starred with Lindsay Lohan. The picture was a success, and the aspiring actor got a role in the TV series "One Tree Hill". The first season of the project attracted about 4.5 million viewers. Chad's photographs have appeared on the covers of popular magazines.

The following year, Murray starred in The Cinderella Story, which critics smashed to smithereens. But negative comments only fueled the interest of viewers - this project became the highest grossing in the career of Chad Michael, grossed $ 70 million at the box office.

Chad later recalled that there was one awkward moment associated with the picture. The comedy director demanded a kissing scene from him and the leading actress Hilary Duff right after the first meeting. The director argued that this way the artists will get used to each other faster. Then Chad asked to leave him and Hilary alone in order to give the on-screen couple the opportunity to get to know each other better. In the end, they talked, got to know each other better. So the awkwardness was left behind.

After "Cinderella", the actor's career went up rapidly. The artist was invited to star in the horror film "House of Wax", then there were shooting in the film "House of Courage", "Christmas Cupid", "The Transporter" and other projects. In 2013-2016, the actor played Jacob Orr in the TV series The Chosen One, and in 2014 he starred in the project Agent Carter, which was closed in May 2016 due to low ratings.

In 2015, Chad appeared in two TV series at once: "Rise of Texas" and "Scream Queens". In the same year, viewers saw the actor in the drama "Others' Children".

A little later followed the lead role in the western "Sinners and Righteous." Chad played the leader of a criminal gang, which, fleeing the pursuit, broke into the house of peaceful, righteous citizens. This act entailed events that were not included in the plans of the gang.

He met his first wife, actress Sophia Bush, on the set of One Tree Hill. In the spring of 2005, the lovers celebrated their wedding, but six months later they announced that they were parting. On December 29, 2006, the couple officially divorced. The newspapers wrote that the reason for the breakup was Paris Hilton, with whom Chad starred in the project "House of Wax".

In 2006, Murray became friends with Kenzie Dalton, and a few months later the couple announced their engagement. The romance lasted for several years, but in the summer of 2013, Chad and Kenzie broke up.

Then Murray had an affair with actress Nikki Whelan, and in 2014 he met and fell in love with a colleague in the shop Sarah Roemer. Early next year, the couple announced their upcoming wedding. Soon, journalists reported that the lovers were secretly married. On May 31, 2015, Murray became a father - he had a son. And in March 2017, Sarah gave her husband a daughter.

A celebrity's best friend is Supernatural star Jared Padalecki. The artist also loves dogs. Chad keeps six pets at home.

The actor has an SMM tattoo on his right shoulder representing the star's initials. Therefore, in the films, the letters were altered, superimposing other images.

The actor leads a healthy lifestyle, goes to the gym, skates, plays basketball, and participates in charity events. He also dreams of opening a restaurant.

Murray has an officially verified Instagram account, where he posts personal photos and videos. In addition, he shares notes on Twitter.

In 2017, the artist tried himself in a new field. He teamed up with author Heather Graham, and together they wrote the thriller American Drifter, which was released in late 2017.

In the same year, Murray's featured filmography featured a leading role in the biographical series Sun Records. He reincarnated as the character of Sam Phillips - the creator of the label.

And in 2018, Chad played a key role in the TV movie "The Beach House".
