- ParentsDavid Cohen
- He is the son of designer Betty Jackson and David Cohen, who is his mother's business partner. His mother is English, and his father is from an Egyptian Jewish family, that left for France in the 1950s.
- Dubbed his own part for the French version of the Haunting of Bly Manor.
- Washed vases at a florist before landing first major role in Lark Rise to Candleford.
- Attended French school at the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle in London.
- Accepted the part of the titular character in The Invisible Man (2020) after Armie Hammer turned it down.
- It's like a cross between Passion of the Christ and Spooks. I play a Knight Templar called Colm who's a pretty sick guy - it was nice to have a role so different to Philip.
- For a long time, I so badly wanted to work with Jeremy Piven, and I ended up on Mr Selfridge (2013) with him. He was such a character - so brilliant to work with.
- When I started acting, everyone told me to get a backup in case it didn't work out; if there was something else I could have done, I would have done it. Acting should never be your chosen path if you can help it.
- I love Dior and Commes des Garcons, but I can't really afford them.
- It's never fun having to bulk up for a job on an action film, then lose weight for another role. I don't actually mind working out, but it's the diet: I'm half-French, so I love my food, and boiled chicken breast for breakfast is not my idea of a good meal.
