TEENAGE TALENT TAKES HOLLYWOOD BY STORM!

Get ready for the most talked-about story of the year! Owen Cooper, a 15-year-old wunderkind from Warrington, England, has just become one of the youngest Emmy nominees EVER! This pint-sized powerhouse is making waves in the entertainment industry with his breakout role in Netflix's smash hit series "Adolescence"!

Imagine this: at just 15 years old, Owen has been nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Anthology Series or Movie category - and he's going up against some of Hollywood's biggest names! The competition is fierce, but we're rooting for our young star to bring home the gold (or at least, the coveted Emmy statuette)!

At just 15-years-old the Warrington school will be the youngest-ever male winner in the 76-year history of the 'TV Oscars ' if he scoops the accolade (pictured in Adolescence)

For those who may be living under a rock, "Adolescence" is Netflix's most-watched series ever - and it's easy to see why. With its gripping storyline, complex characters, and jaw-dropping plot twists, this show has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide. And at the center of it all is Owen Cooper, who plays Jamie Miller, a 13-year-old arrested by armed police on suspicion of murder.

But here's the kicker: this is Owen's FIRST EVER acting job! Talk about making an impact! With his impressive debut performance, he's stolen the show (and our hearts) - and we can't get enough of him!

It seems like even Leonardo DiCaprio is a fan of Owen's work. During an appearance on Jimmy Fallon's talk show, Owen revealed that the Oscar winner left him a video message when he was with his on-screen dad Stephen Graham (yes, you read that right - Leonardo DiCaprio is a fan of this 15-year-old's acting chops!).

And it looks like we're not the only ones who are obsessed with Owen. Brand and culture expert Nick Ede predicts that our young star could follow in Timothée Chalamet's footsteps and become "the toast of Hollywood". We can't help but agree - this kid is a natural!

Born and raised on a working-class estate in central Warrington, Owen's rise to fame is nothing short of meteoric. With no background in the industry, he's proven that talent (and hard work) can take you anywhere.

And it seems like his family is just as surprised as we are. His mum, Noreen, shared their shock and excitement about Owen's sudden stardom: "It's such a shock, but we're getting on with it." We're right there with them - thrilled to see this talented teen shine!

The Emmys Are Coming!

The Scholarly Note Exclusive Interview

We sat down with Nick Ede, brand and culture expert, to get his take on Owen's meteoric rise:

"The phenomenal success of Adolescence has taken the TV world by storm, and critics have been raving about Owen's stand-out performance. The Hollywood elite love a rags-to-riches story, and at 15 and his first-ever role, this young actor who was brought up in humble surroundings could soon become Hollywood's hottest property and follow the path of many other child stars who have become household names, like Millie Bobby Brown or Timothee Chalamet.

"I'm sure writers will already be presenting his agents with scripts and synopses that will feature him. The sky's the limit for this talented teenager!"

The Emmys Ceremony

Mark your calendars! The Emmy awards ceremony is taking place on September 14 in LA - and we can't wait to see what happens next! Will Owen take home the coveted award? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: we're rooting for him all the way!
