Owen Cooper as Jamie in Adolescence

Adolescence fans have been left wowed after Netflix released more candid footage from teen actor Owen Cooper’s auditions.

Before being cast as Jamie Miller in the record-breaking British drama, Owen famously had no professional acting experience, and had only been pursuing acting lessons as a “hobby” on a weekend.

However, thanks to the footage posted on Netflix’s social media accounts earlier this week – which have already accrued millions of views across the streaming giant’s various platforms – it was immediately apparent how the now-15-year-old wound up landing the role.
