The Brit boy invasion

Hollywood can’t get enough of British men at the moment: Oscars, big-budget film franchises and lucrative modelling contracts – these men are bagging all the best roles. Here are seven of our current favourites.

1 Tom Hughes

You’ve probably seen Tom next to Emma Watson in Burberry’s summer collection campaign, the Cheshire-born lad is known for his work in the TV-series Casualty 1909, Silk and for his role in the rom-com About Time. Hughes is currently starring in the TV drama Victoria  with Jenna Coleman.

London-born Daniel is a writer and actor known for his work in the FBI-inspired thriller Sicario, the remake of the classic Johnny English, in Johnny English Reborn and for playing next to Chloë Moretz, in the super funny action movie  Kick-ass 2.

4 John Boyega

Peckham-born John impressed us in Attack The Block but he’s set for major stardom with his role as Finn in  Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Seriously, we’re not exaggerating; the franchise made the career of Harrison Ford and its revival could do the same for him. John is currently filming Star Wars: Episode VIII and Pacific Rim: Maelstorm.

5 Douglas Booth

Douglas rose to prominence after his portrayal of Boy George in the BBC Two drama Worried About The Boy. He has since starred in television adaptations of Great Expectations and  The Pillars Of The Earth, and has made the transition from television to film with Romeo & Juliet and Posh. Booth also starred in the sci-fi Jupiter Ascending and in the soon-to-be-released Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
