British actor Josh O'Connor was born on May 20, 1990, and during his childhood, his family lived in Cheltenham, England. O'Connor trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theater School, where two of his idols, Pete Postlethwaite and Daniel Day-Lewis, attended. After graduating, the actor landed small roles on British TV shows like Doctor Who, Lewis, and Law & Order UK. He followed up those parts with a few recurring roles on Peaky Blinders and Ripper Street.

In 2016, his career started to pick up some steam with his role as Lawrence Durrell in the ITV series The Durrells, which ran for four seasons. O'Connor also received critical acclaim for his work in the 2017 film God's Own Country. He played an unhappy, borderline-alcoholic farmworker who lives in rural isolation with his disabled father and eventually finds relief from his loneliness when he begins a taciturn love affair with a Romanian cattle hand. His work in the film won him the honor for Best Actor at the British Independent Film Awards in 2017. 

In 2019, O'Connor received his second British Independent Film Best Actor award for his efforts in the film Only You. The movie is a love story that revolves around a couple who meet by chance on New Year's Eve after fighting to get into the same taxi. Since Season 4 of The Crown wrapped filming, O'Connor has remained quite busy. Keep scrolling to see what Josh O'Connor has been up to as of late.
