Early life

Dickinson was born 24 June 1996[1] in Leytonstone, East London,[2][3] and grew up in Highams Park.[4] At seventeen, he dropped out of school, where he was trying to study film and theatre.[3] Dickinson almost opted for a career in the Royal Marines, before being persuaded to return to the theatre by his coach at RAW Academy in London.

Career

In 2016, Dickinson was cast as Frankie, a young man struggling with his sexuality, in Eliza Hittman's film Beach Rats. The Times critic Ed Potton highlighted Dickinson as having "perfected a south Brooklyn accent" as Frankie.[5] For his performance, Dickinson was nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead and the Gotham Independent Film Award for Breakthrough Actor.[6][7]

The film premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival and won the Palme d'Or.[9][10] Reviewing the film, Variety's Peter Debruge wrote Dickinson "brings a kind of fragile vulnerability to the Abercrombie frat-boy type".[11] The film achieved widespread acclaim and a nomination for Best Picture at the 95th Oscars.
