Adolescence star Owen Cooper poses for selfies with string of A-listers at Golden Globes
OWEN Cooper may have been one of the Golden Globes’ biggest winners, but the starstruck schoolboy spent the night posing for selfies with his favourite A-list celebs at the exclusive bash.
The Adolescence actor, who turned 16 just last month, made history during the ceremony as he became the youngest ever star to win the supporting actor gong.
Owen is currently studying for his GCSE’s, but took a night off to mingle with Hollywood’s finest, and grabbed plenty of pictures to impress his mates back home.
In a behind-the-scenes snap, the young actor looked starstruck as he chatted to legendary star George Clooney.
From Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to Leonardo DiCaprio, Owen stopped plenty of actors for a selfie inside the bash – sharing them to his Instagram page.
Alongside The Rock and Leonardo, Owen grabbed selfies with Queen Latifah, Sean Penn, Emily Blunt and her husband John Krasinski, Michael B Jordan, Kevin Hart, and Stranger Things’ Joe Keery inside the Beverly Hills event.

It didn’t stop there, with Owen smiling alongside Jeremy Allen White during the event’s afterparty and sticking close to Jacob Elordi.
With those selfies, and undoubtably plenty more in his locker, Owen will be returning to school with plenty to talk about from his stateside trip.
But while he’s brushing shoulders with Hollywood royalty and winning gongs, Owen isn’t off the hook from reality.
Last week, it was reported that Owen was sitting his mock GCSE exams from abroad, at the same time as his classmates.
Year 11 students at his school are thought to have sat their RE, Biology and English Literature exams last week, with Owen doing the same.
“He’s taken his mock exams remotely under controlled conditions, with a moderator, as agreed with licensing and his school,” a source told the Daily Mail, adding that he takes school “very seriously”.
Alongside his win last night, Netflix series Adolescence took home several gongs from the TV categories at the glitzy event, with two of Owen’s co-stars also picking up awards.
Stephen Graham was named best actor in a TV mini series, while Erin Doherty scooped best supporting actress.
Golden Globes viewers were quick to react to Owen’s win, with many flocking to social media.
One person said: “I couldn’t think of anyone more deserving! I can see an Oscar in his future for his next film!”
Another added: “Kid’s out here making the rest of us look bad at 16.”
A third said: “16 years old and already sweeping the Emmy, Golden Globe, and Critics Choice… Owen Cooper is officially a prodigy. Future Hollywood legend in the making.”
Adolescence was Owen’s first foray into TV, with the whopping debut leading to a string of gongs for the young star.
