Learn all about Callum below.
Originally from Chelsea, London, Callum began his professional modeling career back in 2010.

In 2011, he became the face of a Burberry campaign, appearing alongside other British actors Eddie Redmayne and Emma Watson.
In fact, he recently shared that when he was modeling in Japan, he followed a strict diet, earning him the strange nickname of «Tuna Man». «It means Tuna Man!» he explained in an interview with Independent in January 2024. «I had one sushi cafe that I went to every day, and the chef would say, 'Tuna Man,' because for lunch, I would only eat six pieces of tuna».
He also explained why he had to stick to a strict diet. «I needed to lose a lot of weight», - he admitted. «It was tough, but I did it. I can be very warrior-like in my mind».
Callum has no trouble matching Dua’s high-profile work in the Barbie movie — he has also appeared in dozens of notable projects. Among them are George Clooney’s directorial project «Boys in the Boat» (2023), «Emma» (2020) alongside Anya Taylor-Joy, «Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore» (2022), and «Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald» (2018) alongside Eddie Redmayne, among many others.
Callum also has a successful television career. He recently appeared in «The Masters of the Sky», - and in 2016, he starred in a television version of «War and Peace».
Callum openly talked about his past marijuana addiction in an extremely candid interview in 2020. «I was a big smoker», - he told Independent at the time. «I smoked so much weed. I was dealing with depression or disappointment and, not having an understanding or tools to deal with what I was feeling, I self-medicated for too long».
He clarified, admitting that he lost years of his life to the habit. «I was acting, making movies, and smoking weed every day», - he told the publication. «I never smoked on set, but as soon as I got home, I was a real addict. I definitely missed out on four years of my life».
He also explained how he quit his weed habit with «compassion and love» for himself, as well as a strong «resolve to change and not miss out on his life».
While Callum seems to have kept his personal life private, he had a long-term relationship with actress Vanessa Kirby from the films «Napoleon» and «The Crown». According to UK Sun, the couple dated for four years and broke up in 2020. Sources told the publication that the British actors split due to long separations during filming.
Callum admitted that he liked school, but only its social aspects. He told Independent in 2020 that he ultimately dropped out of school at 16 because he had sporting ambitions, preferring to play for a semi-professional football team. «I was rebellious, but within reason», - he said about his time in school. «I wasn’t mean, but I was a bit of a joker. I was in all the lowest groups, not because I couldn’t, but because I didn’t want to».
About his time as an athlete, he said: «They gave us a little money for playing. At that time, I thought I was a multimillionaire — 'Just made it.'»
