Noah Jupe’s life in verse: George Clooney’s protégé, the Hamlet of ‘Hamnet’ and the new Romeo of the West End

Noah Jupe’s (London, 21 years old) performance in Hamnet, Chloé Zhao’s film based on Maggie O’Farrell’s best-selling novel, may be his shortest role to date, but it’s also the one that has changed everything for the actor. Although the film’s acclaim went to Irish actress Jessie Buckley — who won the Bafta, the Golden Globe, and the Oscar — Jupe, at 19 (his age during filming), didn’t miss the opportunity to unleash his full dramatic potential by playing Prince Hamlet at the end of the film.
