Alex Pettyfer



One of the guys that I'm hunting. LOL I got his biography from wiki.

Alexander Richard "Alex" Pettyfer[1] (born 10 April 1990) is an English actor and model. The son of an actor and former fashion model, he appeared in school plays and on television before being cast as Alex Rider, the main character in the film version of Stormbreaker. The film was released worldwide in 2006. Pettyfer was nominated for a Young Artist Award and an Empire Award for his role.[2] He appeared in the film Wild Child, released in the U.K. on 15 August 2008. He has been seen as a model in several advertising campaigns for Burberry. [3] His latest film is Tormented, alongside April Pearson, which opened on 22 May 2009 in the UK.

Pettyfer was born in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, the son of actor Richard Pettyfer and former model Lee Robinson (currently known as "Lee Ireland"); he has a younger half-brother, James Ireland, a junior tennis player, from his mother's re-marriage to Michael Ireland, a property developer.

no wonder he's hot haha...son of a former model

Pettyfer was raised in Windsor, Berkshire, and attended Shiplake College boarding school near Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire and Lambrook Haileybury School in Windsor.[4] He initially attended Millfield School in Somerset, before Shipklake College, and then left after GCSEs to attend Drama College. When not working, Pettyfer's hobbies include skiing and hockey. He also attended Sylvia Young Theatre School.

After Pettyfer completed filming Stormbreaker, he did not discuss the film with anyone at his school, citing the advice of his Stormbreaker co-star, Ewan McGregor, who told him to keep his personal and professional life separate. Pettyfer has since decided to leave school and concentrate on his film career,[13] whilst studying drama at college,[6] saying that "When you have already experienced going out and working in the real world, and you come back to school, you just see it as a playground and you don't want to be there any more".[14]

Pettyfer reportedly has seven tattoos, including a Celtic cross on his chest, Arabic script on the inside of his right arm, the words, "What Goes Around Comes Around" on his right shoulder, the letters "ER" inside interlinking hearts on his right wrist and a Kanji script on his lower waist.[15]

I think ER could meant Emma Roberts since he acted with her in wild child. Just my opinion! They were saying if there's another Alex Rider movie, he will not be the one...thay said he's too old. WHAT THE HECK!!! I wouldn't watch if it isn't him. :(
