This the 48th post in our Celebrity of the Day series.
This adorable English actor and model was born in 1990, and it is no wonder why the camera has already fallen in love with him. He made his debut onto the modeling scene at the age of 7 with GAP; he got his break when he ran into Ralph Lauren at a toy store. He modeled continuously taking after his mother who was model herself.
But in 2005, he decided it was time to take after his father, who was a theater actor and was given the role of Tom Brown the lead character in a BBC series Schooldays. Later that same year he took the role of Alex Rider in the movie Stormbreaker, based on the book of the same name. Alex chose this role over a role in Eragon, because Stormbreaker was being filmed in England and Eragon was being filmed in the Czech Repbulic. Most boys might like a change of scenery, but Alex is afraid of flying.
After Stormbreaker, he took a role in Wild Child in 2008 and the lead role in Tormented in 2009. He also has a role in the upcoming movie Beastly set to release in 2010.
