Harry Treadaway Facts

He is 20 minutes younger than his twin brother, Luke Treadaway.

Although Harry claimed that he will always have a home in London, he has planned to build another house in the countryside designed by his architect father when his lifestyle gets less hectic.

The actor never imagined himself in a 9 to 5 job. As he grew older, he always looked for ways to continue playing make-believe because of which he considers acting as the best job ever.

Inspired by Pearl Jam lead vocalist and guitarist Eddie Vedder and encouraged by his secondary school drama teacher, at the age of 14, Harry and his twin brother Luke started a band called Lizardsun.

If he had not been an actor, he would have considered becoming a policeman or a fireman.

During the early years of his struggle, Harry would often change in pub toilets before going on set but persevered till he started landing jobs that allowed him to travel extensively and work in Los Angeles studios.

When not working, Harry likes to spend quality time with his friends and family. He likes going for a walk on London’s hilltop park, Hampstead Heath or visit Devon. He also finds it therapeutic to spend alone time in nature.

Harry enjoys learning new skills through his acting jobs. In the early years of his career, he shared that he learned to play the drums, twirl a gun, ride a motorbike, strip a car engine, and ride a horse.

To play one of the outlaws in The Lone Ranger (2013), Harry got 6 week boot camp training from local cowboys in New Mexico.

In his professional debut, Brothers of the Head (2005), Harry was cast as one half of a conjoined twin. He spent 15 hours a day connected to his brother wearing a wetsuit that was sewn together. He also slept with his brother in that outfit to better understand the unique physical attribute of his character in the movie.

Harry also made his stage debut with his twin brother Luke in a play by Mark Ravenhill called Over There (2009) at the Royal Court Theatre in London.

Late actor, Anton Yelchin was originally cast to play Brady Hartsfield in Mr. Mercedes. Harry was recast in that role after Yelchin’s unexpected death in June 2016.
