Actor Owen Cooper poses for a portrait on Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025, in Los Angeles. He’s hardly had time to develop that kind of ambition in his short time as an actor. But, presented with the idea, he’s intrigued. And amused. “Is that the Emmy, the Grammy, the Oscar and the Tony?” he asks, with a laugh. “I’ve got E, so I want it.”The Associated Press’ Breakthrough Entertainers of 2025. Speaking to the AP while sitting on a balcony at a West Hollywood hotel, Cooper concedes he has no idea how he’d ever win a Grammy, though he loves music . And a Tony feels daunting, though the one-take episodes of “Adolescence” required the work of a play.But, more broadly, Cooper knows what he does want to do. “When I first started doing drama lessons, like I was just, I just didn’t want to do it,” he says. “I didn’t want to look like an idiot in front of all these people. Now, I’m like, ‘I want to be one of those actors that are just fearless.’”“I’d always be going on set and they’d always just be coming off so I’d speak to Jacob loads,” he says. “I would always be next to Margot in the makeup chair so I speak to them quite a lot and they're really nice people.” By the time the movie's shoot was done, Cooper was a star in his own right. “Adolescence” and all its acclaim arrived during filming of the Emily Brontë adaptation. After the ordinary, modern environs of “Adolescence” and the other series he’s shot, “Film Club” — which premiered in October on BBC Three in the United Kingdom and is not yet available to watch in the U.S. — he was stunned by the setting, and the outfits, of “Wuthering Heights.” “The attention to detail in that film was just insane,” he says. “Obviously I’ve not been in it a long time but it just blew my mind, like the set and just everything about it is just mad.”Cooper's clearly a prodigy, but he's no lab-grown child star or nepo baby. He's the youngest of three brothers from a non-industry family, raised in Northern England's Warrington, between Manchester and Liverpool. His accent has notes of both cities, but he's a devoted “I grew up near, like, a park so I would be on there since 8 in the morning to midnight just playing football,” he says. “It was just everything. I didn’t care about anything else.” Acting became a secondary hobby when he began classes at 12 at Manchester's Drama MOB. But he loved it, and the school drew something special out of him that led to his landing “Adolescence” over hundreds of other candidates., the series co-creator who won his own Emmy for playing Cooper’s father, has called him “the talent of a generation” and “the next“I want to do horror, I want to do, like, a superhero, I want to do sci-fi,” he says. “I just want to do everything.”Copyright 2025 The Associated Press.
