His father was born in Ryde, Isle of Wight, and was of Italian descent, and his mother was born in Hong Kong.

He then attended Columbia University, which he considered his “first priority”, and studied history, graduating in 2009. He typically worked on films only during his summer break.

He did not always want to become an actor. He said: “I thought it was sort of embarrassing to say you wanted to be an actor – it was, like, uncool. And growing up I was massively concerned with seeming cool. I thought up until about age 16 that I was going to be a music video director.”
