Who Is Callum Turner, Dua Lipa’s Rumoured New Beau?
Being an Internet Boyfriend is becoming a must-have for young, handsome actors in 2024, and Callum Turner is now part of this trend. Just like Jacob Elordi and Jeremy Allen White before him, Turner has been making headlines due to rumors about him dating Dua Lipa. The media has been buzzing about blurry videos of the two kissing at the premiere of Masters of the Air, photos of them on a supposed date, and insider news shared on Instagram's top celebrity gossip account, @Deuxmoi. It's a classic example of a fantastic celebrity couple.
Besides his personal life, Turner has a lot to look forward to in 2024. He is currently working on an exciting project called The Boys in the Boat, a sports drama that tells the story of the gold medal-winning US rowing team at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The film is being directed by George Clooney and produced by Turner himself, and it follows the true story of how eight underdogs overcame the challenges of the Great Depression. Turner is also set to appear in Masters of the Air, a new World War II drama produced by Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and Gary Goetzman for Apple TV+. The show, which will be released later this month, also stars talented actors such as Barry Keoghan, Austin Butler, and Ncuti Gatwa, who was recently cast as the new Doctor.
If you're not familiar with him yet, here are some important details to know about Callum Turner.
Londoner Born And Raised
Even though Turner displayed great talent when it came to nailing different accents in his roles for The Only Living Boy in New York and Mobile Homes, it turns out that he is originally from Britain. He spent his upbringing in West London, specifically in an estate, and was an avid fan of Chelsea football club. His authentic accent is not always apparent due to his use of RP when portraying Frank Churchill in Emma.
"Have You Seen Callum Turner Yet?"
Turner has been appearing on our screens regularly for some time now, with a presence in various popular productions such as the Fantastic Beasts franchise, BBC's The Capture, Queen & Country and the adaptation of War & Peace. He began his career as a model at the age of 17, but despite being featured in advertisements for Burberry, he considers himself relatively unsuccessful in that field. He once revealed this fact to Vogue.
Alongside Barry Keoghan and Austin Butler, he starred in Masters of the Air.
"Untrained Actor: A Surprising Revelation"
In a previous conversation, Turner revealed that he left school to pursue a career in football. He went on to play semi-professionally for a year. Later, at the age of 19, while working at a shop, he registered on a website for actors seeking auditions. He kicked off his acting journey by trying out for roles from that point on.
He Can Also Direct!
Last year, Turner took on the role of director for Shift the Plane, his very first short film. The concept was sparked by reflections on his upbringing on a complex. "It conveys the struggles of those who work full time yet cannot afford to leave their current living arrangements," Turner shared. He added, "It delves into the repercussions that arise from overstaying one's welcome in a place."
Previous Girlfriend Of His Was Famous
Turner had a romantic relationship with Vanessa Kirby, who used to work with him. They got together when they were filming Queen & Country in 2014, and their relationship continued for an entire four years.
