This handsome man is known to every fan of the film "The Blue Lagoon", which was released on television in 2012. With his attractive appearance, Brenton Thwaites won more than one woman's heart. The actor also became more popular after the release of the films "Oculus" (2013) and "Maleficent" (2014).

All this suggests that Brenton is now at the peak of its popularity and demand. Not far off is a new project in which the guy got the main role. All the latest news and achievements of the handsome actor can be found in this article.

Biography and early years

BrentonThwaites was born on August 10, 1989 in Australia, in the city of Cairns. His parents are Peter and Fiona Thwaites. The guy has a sister, Stacey. As a child, the boy simply loved to watch action movies, where the main character saves weak people and kills bad guys. Therefore, he always dreamed of becoming one of them - a policeman or a firefighter. But he still decides that he will play such heroes on television, because the youngster had acting talent. At the age of 16, he did manage to try himself as an actor for the first time: he played in Shakespeare's theatrical production of Romeo and Juliet.

And in 2006, Brenton entered the Queensland University of Technology, where he enthusiastically studied acting, not forgetting to constantly appear at castings.

The beginning of a career and the first roles

The first film role was not long in coming: after graduating from university in 2010, Brenton Thwaites starred in the thriller Power Over You. And the following year, four more projects were added to his film portfolio:

1. Short film "The Executioner" - the role of Max Peterson.
2. "Sea Patrol" (1st episode) - the role of Leith Scarpia.
3. "Sliders" (10 episodes) - the role of Luke Gallagher.
4. "Home and Go" (2011-2012, 57 episodes) - the role of Sam. Interestingly, in this film, Brenton got one of the leading roles, but this work in the film did not bring significant success to the actor.

2012 marks Thwaites' first high point- shooting in the famous Blue Lagoon.

Firstly, this is the first work of a young actor in Hollywood, and secondly, the main popularity came to Brenton thanks to this film. In 2012, the comedy film "Take Care of Your Feet" was released, where the guy got the role of Mark.

Gaining momentum

But the picture "Oculus" (2013) made the actor a real star of horror. The project brought Brenton such fame that Hollywood began to involuntarily think about the birth of a new big movie star. Following the actor, offers rained down, and many of them were very worthwhile:

2. "Youngblood" (2014) - the role of JR.
3. "Trip" (2014) - the role of Angelo.

1. "New talent" - for the painting "Initiate".
2. "Rising Star" - at the Hawaii Film Festival.
3. Breakthrough of the Year at GQ Men of the Year.

Next Brentonreceives an offer to star in "Pirates of the Caribbean", but the role was kept secret for a long time. The Australian got the character of Henry Turner - the son of Will Turner, who, as you know, was played by Orlando Bloom. But even here the actor did not find much success.
