Jamie Bell Information
Biography
Jamie Bell was born in 1986 in Billingham, England, UK, coming
from a family of dancers including his grandmother, mother, aunt, and sister. It
was at his sister's dance practices that he would stand outside the door and
imitate the movements of the dancers inside. At age six, he was encouraged to
step inside the door and, thus, his dance career began. His own story parallels
that of 'Billy Elliot' in that Jamie kept his dancing a secret from his
friends at school. His mother had him when she was 16 and, unfortunately, never
knew his father.
When he met Stephen Daldry, director of 'Billy Elliot', Jamie adopted him as his
father. Once the word about his dancing got out, he was harassed, but this only
made him more determined to prove that dancing wasn't just for girls. He has
proven a lot by landing the title role of 'Billy Elliot', winning the role in an
audition that included more than 2,000 boys from the northeast of Great Britain.
His ensuing performance certainly justified the selection since he has not only
won the hearts of moviegoers all over the world, he has also been nominated for
and won a number of awards, including a Best Newcomer Award and then a Best Male
Performance at the BAFTA awards. As a star on the rise, we should expect to hear
more from Jamie in years to come, but first he needs to finish his homework.
