Charlie Cox

Daredevil - a superhero, mysterious doubly, because, in addition to superpowers, has also a disability. Matt Murdock is blind and this stands out from the list of perfect superhumans, which makes his image even more attractive for fans of comics. On the screen, the image of Daredevil embodied the Briton Charlie Cox, who became the first non-American actor to appear in this role.

Charlie Thomas Cox was born on December 15, 1982 in East Sussex, England. The boy became the fifth, youngest, child in the family. His brother is one - Toby, and another brother Oliver and sisters Emma and zoey - the children of his father from the previous marriage.

Charlie was brought up in the Catholic faith, in addition to the English, among his ancestors Irish and Scots. During his school years, the boy studied first in his native East Sussex, and graduated from high school in Dorset.

School theatrical performances were not given to him - teachers and students preferred musicals, and Charlie could not sing, so he had to stand among the choir. So as a child, Cox did not think about the acting career, this idea came to the young man shortly before graduation.

However, the intention turned out to be serious, and in 2001 he moved to London, and a year later entered the Bristol Theatre School Old Vic, an institution from which came such stars as Richard Coyle, Ray Stevenson and Olivia Colman. The study was not without problems: the young man took criticism from teachers hard, taking it too close to his heart.

The first role went to Charlie at the age of 18, even before entering drama school - he played in the psychological thriller "Points over I" in 2003. Besides him, the film starred and future Ven Tom Hardy. In the summer after his first year of study, the young man auditioned for the role of Lorenzo in the film "The Merchant of Venice" with Al Pacino.

In doing so, he violated the school's policy that students are not allowed to audition for productions outside the Old Vic. Charlie's work during this period includes the historical drama of 2005 "Casanova" and the sci-fi film "For Andromeda", released in 2006.

But in 2007, the young actor was waiting for the main role: in the fantasy drama "Stardust" Charlie embodied on the screen Tristan Thorne, recklessly promised to his beloved to bring a star falling from the sky. The film has earned the praise of critics and has been well received by audiences around the world.

In 2008, Cox played in a more serious film - crime drama "The Stone of Destiny" about a madman Scottish patriot Ian Hamilton. This work was followed by filming in the historical drama "1939", and in 2010 Charlie got the role of duke of Courborough in "Downton Abbey", playing a young man who wants to "marry money" because of the deplorable financial condition.

Another striking work in Cox's creative biography was the image of Owen Sliter, who appeared in the 2nd season of Martin Scorsese's Underground Empire, where Charlie played an Irishman with ties to the IRA, the Irish Republican Army. Along with the rest of the cast, Cox won the Screen Actors Guild Award in 2011.

In 2015, Charlie's filmography began the period of "Daredevil" - he got the title role in the series about a blind superhero Marvel, who does justice thanks to superhuman abilities. Lawyer Matt Murdock, hiding under the image of the avenger Daredevil, has gained popularity for Cox among Marvel fans around the world. The main female role in the series was played by Deborah Ann Wall, and another partner on the set was John Bernthal, known for "The Walking Dead".

Interestingly, Charlie himself did not just not read comics before the shooting - on the eve of the audition the actor did not even know that his character is blind. However, now Cox is a big fan of the series about Daredevil.

Stories about superheroes are often considered unserious and do not get close attention, but the series about Matt Murdock broke out of the usual series due to the features of the main character. For his role, Charlie Cox received the Helen Keller Achievement Awards from the American Society of the Blind.

The series went from 2015 to 2018, and during this period the actor played his character outside of "Daredevil" - Matt Murdock appeared in the mini-series "The Defenders", released in 2017.

Charlie approached the character responsibly: in preparation for the shooting, the man threw all his strength to training and gained 30 pounds of muscle mass (that's almost 14 kg). So thanks to Daredevil, the actor is in great shape: at 178 cm the weight of Charlie is 79 kg. After the project was completed, Cox announced that he was ready to play Daredevil in future films.

In 2018, the actor starred in the feature film "King of Thieves", based on the true story of 2015 about the theft of jewelry in Hatton Garden. Despite the interesting and topical plot, the film did not gain much success among the audience.

In 2004, Charlie briefly dated American actress Lynn Collins. After the breakup, the actor did not declare a formal relationship for several years, until in 2008 his girlfriend became Kate Mara. However, the relationship with her did not last long - already in 2009 the couple separated.

After that, Cox positioned himself as a single for another five years, but in 2014 he could not resist the charms of his British counterpart Janet Montgomery. However, this novel ended quickly - in the same 2014.

Now Charlie's life partner is TV producer Samantha Thomas. For a long time they just met, not formalizing the relationship.

In 2016, the couple had a daughter, and in September 2018 Cox's personal life changed - Samantha still became the wife of the actor.

The actor does not maintain an official Instagram account, but communicates with fans and journalists willingly - even a photo of Charlie with his young daughter is published.

Cox's dream of Daredevil is Matt Murdock's crossover universe with Spider-Man, especially as the actor is friends with the current Peter Parker, Andrew Garfield.

But these dreams are more and more like unfulfilled. After Netflix abruptly announced it was ending filming of Daredevil, Cox joined an army of fans in 2019 hoping to revive it.

And his signature in support of the action #SaveDaredevil Charlie put quite amusing way. Because the actor wanted to keep his identity secret, he created a fake email box for his 2-year-old daughter and signed a petition on her behalf.
