Freddie Highmore Bio (Age)

Freddie was born Alfred Thomas Highmore on February 14, which is Valentine’s Day in the year 1992. He was born in Camden Town, London to a show business family. His mother, Sue Latimer, is a talent agent with an overflowing clientele of big names, including Harry Potter’s Daniel Radcliffe, with whom Freddie is close friends. Her father, Edward Highmore, is an actor. Some of his best known works include; Leo Howard in the 80s BBC drama Howards’ Way and Malkon in the 1984 series, Planet of Fire

As a young boy aged 7, Freddie Highmore started his own career starting with small roles in television shows. He appeared alongside his father in the 2001 Hallmark TV movie, Jack and the Beanstalk: The Real Story. Freddie continued to score small roles until his big break with the role of Peter Llewelyn Davies in Finding Neverland (2004).

Despite being a child star, Freddie chose to attend a normal school. He was educated at a primary school in Hampstead Garden Suburb and later at an independent school, Highgate School. Freddie then proved his talent with roles in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory alongside Johnny Depp, The Spiderwick Chronicles among many others.

During his career, Freddie slowed down from acting to further his education. He enrolled at Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge, where he studied French, Spanish and Arabic. While touring the school, Highmore performed the highly acclaimed role of Norman Bates in the A&E drama thriller series, Bates Motel which became a huge hit. He made his directorial debut in one of the show’s episodes. After the show ended in 2017, Highmore reprized the lead role of Dr. Shaun Murphy in The Good Doctor. He is a co-producer of the ABC drama series.

His brother

Freddie has a younger brother named Albert SamuelHighmore who is primarily referred to as Bertie Highmore. Both Bertie and his brother Freddie inherited acting genes from their parents, as evidenced by his role in the 1999 film Women Talk Dirty. In the film, Bertie plays Freddie’s brother. Bertie was born in 1995, making Freddie three years older than his little brother. Bertie would go on to pursue other interests in life besides acting.

Dating, girlfriend, is he gay?

Freddie Highmore is one of those, so details about his romantic life are scarce. The actor stays out of the spotlight as much as he can and doesn’t even have a social media account. However, despite Freddie’s best efforts to keep the subject of his love life out of the media, he has been in romantic relationships with stars, despite having no concrete evidence.

He was linked to Dakota Fanning in 2009. Pop Sugar reported at the time that the two were spotted having dinner at Il Cielo in Los Angeles shortly after Freddie attended Comic Con. However, no further details emerged, thus shedding light on the possibility of a relationship between the young actors. Freddie was also linked to his The Spiderwick Chronicles co-star, Sarah Bolger, and then his The Art of Passing co-star, Emma Roberts both without any solid proof.

Freddie Highmore was later linked to AbigalBreslin. Many sites said they were from around 2015 without clear evidence. The fact that Breslin has been dating other people since then and even being documented on social media proves that there is nothing between her and the English actor. Freddie has made it clear that he is stepping away from social media so he can maintain a clear difference between his career and his personal life.

Due to his very private lifestyle, many have come to speculate that the young actor is gay, however, just like his rumored relationships, there is no evidence to prove that Freddie Highmore is gay.
