During the late 2000s, Welsh actor Luke Evans made an impressive leap from the stage to the big screen. He was able to land a number of memorable roles, including playing a Greek god in Clash of the Titans and the lead role in Disney’s live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. He also starred in the blockbuster movies The Hobbit and Fast and Furious. While his acting career has progressed to the next level, he remains relatively quiet about his private life. In fact, his publicists have declined to comment on past statements.
At the age of seventeen, Evans moved to Cardiff. He studied acting at the London Studio Centre and performed in numerous West End theater productions. At age eighteen, he was awarded a scholarship. He graduated in 2000 and has since appeared in numerous films and television shows. His breakthrough came with the 2010 remake of Clash of the Titans. His performance in the movie landed him roles in the following films: Immortals (2011), The Three Musketeers (2011), Robin Hood (2010), Blitz (2011), Ashes (2011) and Tamara Drewe (2010).
Luke Evans Grew up in a small southern Welsh village
When Evans was young, he grew up in a small southern Welsh village. His parents belonged to the Jehovah’s Witness church. When he turned sixteen, he left religion for good. He hid his sexuality in the early part of his career, but has finally decided to come out. In a 2002 interview for the gay news magazine “The Advocate,” Evans admitted that he is a homosexual and was “hoping to adopt a dog or two.” Despite his comments, Evans has not said much about his personal life in recent years. However, he once again agreed to discuss his sexuality when the time was right.
In the early 2010s, Luke Evans starred in a series of small budget shorts and made appearances in cultural festivals in London and Edinburgh. He later acted in a number of films, including the indie horror film No One Lives (2012) and the comedy Cowards and Monsters. In addition to his Hollywood work, Evans has also worked on stage, performing in the West End musicals Piaf and Taboo. He received a nomination for the Evening Standard’s best newcomer award in 2008. He is currently starring in The Pembrokeshire Murders, a three-part miniseries based on the classic Sherlock Holmes story.
Biggest Highlights of Acting Career
The biggest highlight of Luke Evans acting career may be his performance as Bard the Bowman in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy. He reprises his role in the live-action adaptation of the classic book, as well as the sequel The Desolation of Smaug and The Fate of the Furious. In addition to this, he is also a lead actor in Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. His appearance in the new movie has caused quite a buzz among moviegoers.
Another film that is worth mentioning is the independent film Flutter. He acted alongside John Cussack and Mickey Rourke. In the movie, Evans plays a man who loses his wife to an unseen killer. It is directed by Giorgio Borg.
