Harris Dickinson is having a moment. At just 28, his glittering career has followed an unusual trajectory by way of British actors; "No public school, no Oxbridge, no drama school," per The Guardian.
And yet, despite his non-linear journey into Hollywood's most elite circles, the East London-born former cadet has landed himself roles in some life-altering films.
Most recently, he was cast as John Lennon in Sam Mendes’s upcoming The Beatles four-part biopic following his lead in Babygirl (2024) alongside Nicole Kidman, which came after his major breakout role in Beach Rats (2017).

In a 2022 interview with The Guardian following his blinding role as Carl in black comedy Triangle of Sadness, Harris admitted he's a hard worker, but finds solace in "chilling".
His sanctuary to wind down, a home in East London, is not only shared with his girlfriend, Rose, but their British shorthair called Misty Blue. "There’s always something to do in his house and garden," which is balanced with wholesome trips to Cornwall for surfing breaks and filming stints in the US.

Despite pursuing very public careers, creative power couple Harris and Rose prefer to keep a low profile when it comes to their personal life. They have, however, collaborated in their work, with Harris directing several of his love's music videos.

"But it definitely helps with the closeness because you can get to things quicker without that sense of carefulness and trepidation around being offensive.
"We’re so close that we can just be very direct. And I think she was the same with me, where if I had a [expletive] idea, she’d say, 'No, we’re not doing that.'"
