Douglas Booth: From Burberry Model to Dickens Star The Telegraph By John Paul Ford-Rojas December 29, 2011 Booth appeared alongside Dame Maggie Smith, Timothy Spall, and Dominic West in 2009 period film drama From Time to Time, written and directed by Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes. Last year he played the young Boy George in the BBC2’s Worried About the Boy and he will also be familiar to some viewers of a drama this year, Christopher and His Kind. Booth featured as the German lover of author Christopher Isherwood. The actor has also featured in campaigns for fashion label Burberry. Booth’s father works for Citigroup and his half-Spanish, half-Dutch mother and older sister are both artists. He grew up in Blackheath, south London, and Sevenoaks, Kent, and has spoken about how he took up drama after struggling with dyslexia and deciding his future would not take an academic path. Booth told the Scotsman earlier this month: “Acting is where I felt most comfortable and how I wanted to express myself. I was lucky enough to get a very good agent at the age of 15, and got my first film when I was 16, so it’s been rolling on since then.” He has recently travelled to America and France for his role in a new film LOL: Laughing Out Loud, alongside US teen star Miley Cyrus. Next year Booth is due to appear in a new adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, with a screenplay written by Julian Fellowes.

Stunning! Great find, fashionwiz.

Douglas Booth: The British actor is learning the ins and outs of being too intriguing By Adam Rathe OUT Magazine 2.16.2012 Douglas Booth learned the hard way that 140-character musings can quickly get out of hand. While he might not be famous in the U.S. for his tweets to become controversial, at home in London, the 19-year-old actor doesn’t have that luxury, so he recently cancelled his Twitter account. “If I put anything in the public space, then the tabloids are usually all over that; they feel like they have a certain right to tear me apart,” Booth says over a glass of orange juice in the lobby of a Los Angeles hotel. “But if I don’t give them anything, then they have no right to talk about my private life.” It’s no wonder that Booth’s personal life is of interest, though. The young actor has already taken on a number of challenging roles, including Boy George, makeup and all, in the 2010 TV movie Worried About the Boy, and Christopher Isherwood’s lover, Heinz Neddermeyer, in last year’s Christopher and His Kind. The time when that sort of fame is limited to the U.K. is about to end. This spring, Booth’s photo should end up taped to plenty of high-school lockers thanks to his turn as Miley Cyrus’s bad-boy love interest in the forthcoming LOL, an American adaptation of a French film about a teenage girl’s rebellion. A brainier set will get to know him thanks to the BBC’s latest costume drama miniseries, Great Expectations, which has been a runaway hit in the U.K. and will land stateside in April on PBS. If that’s not enough, Booth is teaming up with Downton Abbey mastermind Julian Fellowes -- who gave Booth his first professional role in 2009’s From Time to Time -- for Romeo and Juliet, a Carlo Carlei–directed visit to Verona. All of this work leaves the London native with little time to worry about gossip, like the rumors, fueled by -- what else -- Twitter, that he’s seeing Great Expectations costar Vanessa Kirby. “I have things going on in different countries,” he says. “You know, things come out here, then over there. Romeo and Juliet is getting buzz on both sides of the pond, but it doesn’t really affect me. I don’t have time to think about who’s talking about what. I just want to do a decent job and then move on.” Next, he’ll be moving on to Life at These Speeds, a Sam Rockwell–produced version of the Jeremy Jackson novel about a high school track star who sublimates his grief from a friend’s tragic death with running. True to form, Booth says he’s eager to do the best work he can. “It’s not one of those things where you can fuck it up,” he says of the characters he plays. “You either have to do it, and give it 100%, or just not do it at all.”

DOUGLAS BOOTH: BORN TO BE AN ACTOR BY DENISE MARRAY WEEKEND REVIEW March 7, 2013 Douglas Booth likes being in London — walking down ‘the streets that Charles Dickens walked down’ What is charisma — that makes someone watchable on screen? It is hard to define and cannot be taught or acquired but when a person has it, it is instantly recognisable. The young British actor, Douglas Booth, must have been born under a lucky star because he has that unusual package of good looks, talent and charisma that has top film agents reaching for their phones. Our meeting takes place in the office of his London agent, Curtis Brown; he has just finished filming in New York and Iceland for Darren Aronofsky’s “Noah” alongside a star-studded cast of Russell Crowe, Emma Watson, Jennifer Connelly, Anthony Hopkins and Ray Winstone. Booth plays the part of Shem, Noah’s (Crowe’s) eldest son. He has also recently starred as Romeo in “Romeo and Juliet” directed by Carlo Carlei and adapted by Julian Fellowes (of “Downton Abbey” fame). Both films have yet to hit our screens but when they do he looks set to join the exclusive club of actors instantly recognisable around the globe.

Somehow, I knew that Billy would get your attention. Seriously, though, Mr. Morgan does not have a large body of work. I wish I knew why.

ACTOR DOUGLAS BOOTH GOES OFF HIS SCRIPT BY JAVIER ESPINOZA WALL STREET JOURNAL December 16, 2011 The British actor talks to The Wall Street Journal Europe about how he starts his weekend. At just 19 years old, English actor Douglas Booth has been lauded for his portrayal of Boy George in the BBC TV drama "Worried About the Boy." For Christmas, he will star as Pip in the BBC's new adaptation of Dickens's "Great Expectations," with Ray Winstone, Gillian Anderson and David Suchet. FilmMagic English actor Douglas Booth "Pip is such an amazing character and he has such an interesting journey," Mr. Booth says of his role. "He goes from having nothing but everything to having everything but actually nothing. It's a rollercoaster ride and it's such a great love story. It was a journey that most scripts don't really provide these days." Next year, he will play Romeo alongside actress Hailee Steinfeld in Julian Fellowes's film adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. "It's quite a daunting prospect, especially after the actor who played the last Romeo was Leonardo DiCaprio," he says, adding that he selects his roles carefully. "It's important to read as much as you can because you never know when you will find the best script that you want to do next. I'm always quite picky in what I read and what I go for." When Mr. Booth isn't acting, the Londoner likes to go clubbing with friends, spend time with his girlfriend, catch up on the latest films or just read a good book. How does your weekend start? The weekend is sometimes a couple of days you can't pin down. But I do acknowledge the weekend. On a Friday night, I like to go out because my friends, who have been working normal hours, just want to let go after a stressful week at work. We often go for dinner and then drinks. Or we go clubbing. Where do you go for dinner? One of my favorites is Nobu on Berkeley Street. If we just want more casual dinner, we sometimes just go to Shoreditch House [a private members' club] because you can then go to the roof and have cocktails there. What do you look for in a club? I don't like it when the club is too busy. I need a place to chill out on my own, a place where you can sit down and be able to drink and then get involved in the action when you want to. But don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't like crowds. I'm a huge festival fan. I love to dance and dance all night long. What sort of music are you into? I like everything. I'm literally into any type of music imaginable. What's your Saturday like? I like to wake up late, around 11 a.m., especially if I have been out the night before. Then I go to brunch with either my friends or my girlfriend. I then like to just chill out: read the papers, read some scripts and then take it very easy. If it's sunny, I go for a walk with my dog, Niles, in the countryside. He's named after Niles Crane in 'Frasier.' Near where I live in London, there's a really nice place called the Garrison. Brunch there is good, but if I don't go there, I also like the Wolseley. It's my favorite. Or I sometimes stay with my girlfriend just cooking brunch, which is just as nice. I like to cook when I have time. I only have a few meals written down so I need to explore. What's on the menu after brunch? If I am not in London, I often go walking in Kent, where I have a house. Otherwise I just read or go to the movies whenever I'm free. I go to the cinema and catch up on all the films that have been released that week. If I can, I love to go to the theater in the evening. I try to see as much as I can. I love drama. I'm not much of a romcom fan though it can be nice [to watch] with the other half. What would you do if you had more free time? Reading would be lovely. For the moment, whenever I read, it is normally scripts. You start a book and then you think I should be reading these five scripts. A chance to spend a little bit more time with my friends would be lovely or have my friends in one place at a time because everyone is scattered around. In a perfect situation, if I had more time I would just go on holiday. I am huge water-sports fan. I love to jet ski, speedboat, water ski. So I love to get away to somewhere sunny and just get on the water and have some fun with some friends.
