Adolescence star Owen Cooper, 15, could make history as the youngest male Emmy Award winner EVER as show sweeps the board with 13 nominations

Adolescence star Owen Cooper has become one of the youngest Emmy Award nominees ever after the shortlist for this year's awards was announced on Tuesday. At just 15-years-old the Warrington school will be the youngest-ever male winner in the 76-year history of the 'TV Oscars ' if he scoops the accolade for his role in one of Netflix 's most-watched series ever which has swept the board with 13 nominations. Owen has been nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Anthology Series or Movie category at the Primetime after he starred alongside his on screen dad Stephen Graham. He will go up against his co-star Ashley Walters who has been nominated for his first Emmy in the same category after his role as DI Luke Bascombe. In his very first acting job, Owen played Jamie Miller, a 13-year-old arrested by armed police on suspicion of murder, in the gripping series which had the nation talking earlier this year. The youngest person ever to have won a Primetime Emmy is Roxana Zal, who at just 14 scored the Best Supporting Actress gong in 1984 for her role TV movie Something About Amelia. Meanwhile Scott Jacoby is the youngest male, making history when he bagged the Best Supporting Actor at 16 in 1973 for drama That Certain Summer. The show is also nominated in the Best Limited or Anthology Series alongside Black Mirror, Dying for Sex, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story and The Penguin. MailOnline previously revealed that Adolescence star would be entered in the Best Supporting Actor category, as opposed to Best Actor, which experts hailed as a 'genius move' and said would massively boost his chances of winning. Also in the category with Owen and Ashley is Javier Bardem, for his role in Monsters: The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story, Bill Camp and Peter Sarsgaard, for their resepective roles in Presumed Innocent and Rob Delaney, for his role in Dying For Sex. Speaking about his nomination, Ashley gushed: 'This is such an honour. This nomination means the world to me — not just as recognition, but as a reminder of how far I've come. 'It's for everyone who stood by me through the highs and the lows, who believed in me when I needed it most. 'It's a testament to the power of perseverance. Dreams are important — but it's the hard work, the setbacks, the growth, and the consistency that make them real. 'Five years ago, this felt out of reach. Today, I'm incredibly proud — not just for myself, but to stand alongside a group of artists I admire deeply. The Mail's Parents versus The Internet podcast featuring Adolescence creator Jack Thorne is available now 'What we made together is something I'll carry with me forever, and to see it acknowledged on this level is truly special. 'Thank you to the Emmys for this nomination. To my wife and kids — thank you for grounding me and giving me purpose. To my family and friends, for being my foundation. 'To my team, who've worked tirelessly behind the scenes. And to the entire cast and crew — thank you for your brilliance and your heart. This moment is for all of us.' Owen, who hails from a proudly working class estate in central Warrington, was chosen from 500 candidates for the role of Jamie. It was his first-ever acting job and no one in his family has a background in the industry. He is being supported on his meteoric rise by dad Andy, an IT worker, and mum Noreen, a carer. Speaking about the change in their lives, Noreen said: 'It's such a shock, but we're getting on with it.' Last month Owen revealed he had even received praise from one huge Hollywood star, none other than Leonardo DiCaprio. During his appearance on Jimmy Fallon's talk show, Owen revealed the Oscar winner left him a video message when he was with his onscreen dad Stephen Graham. He said: 'Stephen Graham sent me a video yesterday and it's Leonardo DiCaprio sat next to him and he was saying "Hey Owen, I'm such a big fan of Adolescene". 'And I was like "What!"' Brand and culture expert Nick Ede predicted Owen could follow in Timothée Chalamet's footsteps and become 'the toast of Hollywood'. He told MailOnline: 'The phenomenal success of Adolescence has taken the TV world by storm and critics have been raving about Owen's stand-out performance. 'The Hollywood elite love a rags-to-riches story and, at 15 and his first ever role, this young actor who was brought up in humble surroundings could soon become Hollywood's hottest property and follow the path of many other child stars who have become household names, like Millie Bobby Brown or Timothee Chalamet. 'I'm sure writers will already be presenting his agents with scripts and synopsis that will feature him.' The Emmy awards ceremony will take place in LA on September 14.

Johnny Depp's impressive new London art exhibition includes sweet nod to his ex-wife and children

Johnny Depp 's latest art exhibition is set to be unveiled at Castle Fine Art in London as the pieces go on sale on Friday. The collection, named Let the Light In, amounts to just two main pieces paying tribute to the 62-year-old actor's children and ex-wife. His portraits are a copy of the original works he made in the early 2000s, when he was living at Le Hameau in the South of France with his wife Vanessa Paradis, 52, and their children, Jack, 23, and Lily-Rose, 26. His A Rose Is a Rose Is a Rose and Let The Light In paintings reflect on the memorable time he had with his family. The first piece, dedicated to his daughter Lily-Rose depicts every year he has painted her a rose on Valentine's Day. The second piece is a self-portrait from the same era, which depicts Depp in abstracted form where his eyes aren't visible behind his glasses. He said: 'I've been lucky enough to understand through various artists - listening, learning things - the only thing you can really do is add the light to what's there.' Johnny and Vanessa were together for 14 years before their breakup in 2012. Despite being together for over a decade and starting a family, the couple never married but remain 'very close'. It's not the first time Vanessa has inspired Depp's work. Last year, he revealed four tarot-inspired artwork pieces including one that featured Vanessa, named The Empress. Johnny said: 'It looks like a crown that has weathered storms. It shows a certain courage and strength of commitment…. the Crown has been through a lot; she still shines.' Through this artwork, the Pirates Of A Caribbean star captured Vanessa seated in a stoic pose, he added: 'I know who she is inside. She's magnificent. She's pragmatic. She's practical.' The Pirates Of The Caribbean star has painted for years, but his first foray into the world of commercial art came in 2022, when he raised £3million in a few hours by selling prints from his debut art collection. The prints featured four people who inspired him — Rolling Stone Keith Richards, actress Liz Taylor, actor Al Pacino and singer Bob Dylan — and were embellished with 'characteristic freehand flourishes'. A Rose Is a Rose Is a Rose and Let The Light In paintings reflect on the memorable time he had with his family The website of his gallery, Castle Fine Art, crashed due to the volume of interest from his fans, alerted by a post to his 27million followers on Instagram. At the time he said: 'I've always used art to express my feelings and to reflect on those who matter most to me, like my family, friends and people I admire. 'My paintings surround my life, but I kept them to myself and limited myself. No one should ever limit themselves.' He's not limiting himself any more. In 2023, another set of prints were sold by the same gallery over a 13-day period. 'Called 'Five', the pieces showed Depp as he approached the fifth year of his legal battle with former wife Amber Heard, and were based on a picture of him taken during a shoot for his Sauvage fragrance campaign with Dior.

'We used to have good days and bad days - now it's just bad days or wretched days': Fiona Phillips' husband Martin Frizell on nursing his Alzheimer's-hit wife

Fiona Phillips' husband has said his Alzheimer's-hit wife 'used to have good days and bad days - now it's just bad or wretched days'. Ms Phillips was just 61 when she found out in 2022 that she had early-onset Alzheimer's. Since then the 64-year-old has been cared for by her husband, former This Morning editor Martin Frizell. Mr Frizell made the comment in a new interview with BBC Newsnight in which he spoke candidly about the former GMTV presenter's battle with the memory-eroding condition. He said: 'I used to say good days and bad days, now I just say bad days or wretched days, I think wretched is a great word for it.' Mr Frizell said the day of the interview the couple had gone to see a doctor and Ms Phillips was repeatedly unable to remember their destination. 'In the cab ride, 35 minutes, she asked me 72 times, where are we going?' he said. He also said that his wife is no longer able to drive herself 'because she panics' and he is fearful of taking her on public transport because 'she doesn't look any different' which might lead strangers to approach her - something which would leave her 'flummoxed'. Fiona Phillips' husband, journalist Mr Frizell, spoke candidly about the former GMTV presenter's battle withAlzheimer's in a new interview with BBC Newsnight The couple, who wed in 1997, share two sons who are also involved in looking after their ailing mother. On July 17 Phillips released a new book, Remember When: My Life With Alzheimer's, written with the help of Mr Frizell and journalist Alison Phillips, a long-standing friend. The tome is described as an attempt to 'chronicle what was happening to her in the hope that her book would help others.' In the Newsnight interview, Mr Frizell talked movingly about his wife's deterioration as he watched her lose interest in things that previously brought her pleasure like cooking and her wardrobe of 'wonderful clothes' that now mean nothing to her: He said: 'She hasn't really cooked for two years. I was saying to somebody the other day, the most heartbreaking thing, lots of heartbreaking points in our lives just now, but downstairs in a basement, I've got a door wedged open by cookery books, and I don't know what to do because she's never going to cook again. 'Do I donate them? Do I take them to the dump? What do I do with them? Same with her clothes as well. 'She will wear, and everybody who has got someone who's going through dementia will know this, we are just pretty much sharing our experience; she's got the most wonderful wardrobe of wonderful clothes, but she'll wear the same thing, the same t-shirt, the same pair of trousers, sleep in it if need be.' Mr Frizell also says that as shocking as it may sound, he wishes his wife Fiona had contracted cancer rather than Alzheimer's. Fiona Phillips has not cooked in years and has no time for her dressing room of designer clothes as she battles Alzheimer's, her husband Martin Frizell has revealed. Pictured: The couple in 2010 Martin Frizell said at times he wishes his wife had got cancer rather than Alzheimer's as at least then 'she would have had some hope' and been able to enjoy life's little pleasures He said: 'At least she would have had some hope, hope of, and I know you've been through it and it's awful, my mom died from it, my father had cancer, so I know what cancer can do, but I don't think Fiona's ever going to be able to taste a glass of wine again, walk on a beach properly again, go on holiday again, go to the theatre, go to cinema, drive her car, cook a meal for her children, and my worry is on her deathbed, whenever that may come, and hopefully it will be in a long time from now, will she even know who we are? 'I think with cancer though, of course it can be awful and I'm not trying to put that down, but at least there's a hope, there's the chance remission can take you to the end of your life. There's no remission for Alzheimer's.' Mr Frizell also touched on the level of attention given to cancer and cancer care compared to Alzheimer's. 'For every one Alzheimer's researcher, there are four cancer researchers,' he said. 'I'll tell you what I think. I mean I'm not campaigning about this. I'm not going to be the poster boy for this. 'This is pretty much all we're going to talk about, as well as the book, that's it. But again, this HS2, it cost a billion pounds a mile. If you give a billion pounds to Dr. Catherine Mummery at UCLH, I bet we'll come up with something. 'And this is, as you said, a third of us are going to get it. Of every baby that's born this week or today, one in three of them is going to get this. 'If this was a COVID disease that came out, that was going to wipe out a third of humanity, we'd come up with some sort of answer quite quickly, wouldn't we? 'But this is 120 years now and nothing has been done in Alzheimer's because, well, "They've had a good life."
