The actor, widely recognized for his powerful performance in Under the Skin, was credited simply as The Deformed Man—a role that brought him into the public eye. This actor lives with neurofibromatosis, a rare condition that leads to the development of non-cancerous tumors, many of which appear on his face. His journey began early; doctors diagnosed the condition when he was just five years old, after a persistent bump on his head refused to heal. Growing up wasn’t easy—bullying became a constant challenge, and those painful experiences shaped his determination to speak out against discrimination and societal stigmas.
Interestingly, the actor has an identical twin brother named Neil, who also has neurofibromatosis. While the condition visibly impacts the actor’s appearance, it affects Neil more internally, particularly impairing his short-term memory. Despite their shared diagnosis, their lives have taken different paths. Their parents, Marilyn and Patrick, have been a steady support system throughout the years.
Over time, the actor has used his platform to raise awareness, turning personal struggle into advocacy. His story is not just one of resilience but also of using fame as a force for change. And as people continue to recognize the actor for both his artistry and activism, his influence only grows stronger.
He’s got a solid background in business management, having earned his degree from Brighton University. Over the years, he’s been involved in some exciting projects, including helping to produce popular shows such as The Undateables. In 2024, he took on the role of Oswald in the film A Different Man, delivering a performance that certainly turned heads. He really brought something unique to the character, showing off his range as an actor. He continues to build momentum in the industry, and it’ll be interesting to see what he does next.
