Owen Cooper Discusses Fame, 'Mad' School Return After Adolescence

Owen Cooper, the 15-year-old star of Netflix's hit series 'Adolescence,' has shared his experience of returning to school after his breakout role, describing it as 'mad.' Following the show's release, he received significant attention from classmates, though he reassured his co-star Stephen Graham that it was just children calling his name and running away. The series has gained immense popularity, breaking into Netflix's Top 10 Global chart with over 96 million views in just three weeks. Additionally, the show has sparked important conversations about issues like misogyny and violence, leading to its planned inclusion in secondary school curriculums across the UK. Anne Mensah from Netflix expressed pride in the series for its impact on young people and parents alike. Cooper is set to appear next as a young Heathcliff in an adaptation of 'Wuthering Heights.'
