Owen Cooper has been named one of AP's Breakthrough Entertainers for 2025.

Cooper was just 15 when he won an Emmy for best supporting actor for his astonishing performance as a murder suspect in the British Netflix drama “Adolescence.”

Cooper, now 16, tells the AP that not long ago he spent most of his time playing soccer and dreaming of becoming a professional.

But when some casual acting classes revealed his gift, he recalibrated his future plans. Next year, he'll make his movie debut in director Emerald Fennell's adaption of “Wuthering Heights.”

He says he wants to be fearless as an actor and try everything.
