Josh O'Connor: The Rising Star of 2025

A Year of Versatility

Josh O'Connor had a busy year in 2025. He starred in four movies, each with a different role:

• A gay romance
• A thriller
• A western
• A mystery (where he played a priest)

Each performance was exceptional, making it hard to imagine anyone else in those parts.

Rising Fame

O'Connor is no stranger to acting, with over ten years of experience, mostly in the UK. But 2025 was his breakout year:

• Two of his projects were on Netflix:
• "Wake Up Dead Man" (a mystery)
• "The Crown" (a royal family drama)

Hosting "Saturday Night Live"

Last month, O'Connor hosted "Saturday Night Live" and joked about his rising fame:

"For those of you who know my face but maybe can't quite place me, no, I am not the mouse from 'Flushed Away.'"

The audience laughed, and his humor and authenticity won them over.

Training and Talent

O'Connor attended a prestigious acting school in England and worked hard to refine his craft. His natural talent, combined with dedication and smart choices, has made him a fan favorite.
