Jonah Hauer-King was born and raised in the vibrant city of London, which is situated in the United Kingdom. Interestingly, he holds dual citizenship of both the UK and the United States, making him a citizen of two nations.
Jonah's journey in the entertainment industry began at the Lyric Belfast, where he starred in Simon Stephens' production of 'Punk Rock'. This marked the beginning of his professional acting career. During his time at Cambridge University, he continued to pursue his passion for acting, taking on roles on stage and screen simultaneously. His first feature film was a lead role in Danny Huston's 'The Last Photograph', which premiered at the prestigious Edinburgh International Film Festival.
Following this, Jonah starred alongside Bel Powley in 'Ashes In The Snow', a film based on the novel 'Between Shades Of Gray' by Ruta Sepetys. He also appeared in Film 4's 'Old Boys' alongside Alex Lawther. In addition, Jonah made his West End debut in 'The Entertainer', playing the role of Kenneth Branagh's son. He then starred in two BBC miniseries: 'Howard's End' alongside Hayley Atwell and Mathew Macfadyen, and 'Little Women' with Emily Watson, Angela Lansbury, and Michael Gambon.
Jonah's talents extend beyond acting, as he also wrote and contributed to the soundtrack for BFI's 'Postcards From London', which was released by Peccadillo Pictures in November 2018. Most recently, he took on the lead role in Sony's 'A Dog's Way Home', which was released in January 2019, and appeared in Blumhouse's 'Once Upon a Time in Staten Island' alongside Naomi Watts. He is currently filming Francois Girard's 'Song of Names' alongside Tim Roth and Clive Owen, as well as the BBC's major new WW2 drama 'World on Fire'.
Jonah's passion for acting began at a young age, when he started performing at school. His talent was soon recognized, and he was signed by an agent after performing at the Edinburgh Fringe. He went on to study at Cambridge University, graduating with a First Class degree in Theology and Religious Studies in 2017.
Jonah's achievements have been recognized by the Evening Standard, which featured him in their Progress 1000: London's most influential people in 2016, 2017, and 2018.
