Early Life and Education

Dylan John Llewellyn was born on September 10, 1992, in Reigate, Surrey, England, to British parents. As the youngest of three boys, he grew up in a supportive family environment, though specific details about his parents are private.

One of his brothers, Cameron Llewellyn, is an airline consultant and tennis enthusiast. Diagnosed with dyslexia, autism, and developmental disorders as a child, Dylan faced challenges in mainstream schooling, leading him to attend More House School in Farnham, a specialist institution for children with learning difficulties.

This supportive environment helped him build confidence in social settings and academics. He pursued GCSE drama and later studied media, photography, and drama at A-Level.

His passion for acting emerged during a school play competition at the National Theatre, where his team’s winning performance sparked his career aspirations. Dylan furthered his training with a one-year foundation course in acting at the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) from 2010 to 2011, which honed his skills and prepared him for professional roles.

Career

Dylan Llewellyn‘s acting career began in 2009 with a role as Ricky in the short film Travel Bag, followed by his television debut as Adam Wilcock in an episode of The Bill (2010). In 2011, he landed a significant role as Martin “Jono” Johnson in the soap opera Hollyoaks and its spin-off Hollyoaks Later, appearing for a year and gaining early recognition.

His film roles include the teenage Zak in Frequencies (2013), Cubicle Two (2010), and Down Dog (2014).

His breakthrough came in 2018 as James Maguire, the shy, awkward cousin in the critically acclaimed Channel 4 sitcom Derry Girls (2018–2022), which became the network’s biggest comedy launch in nearly 15 years. In 2020, he played Stewart Irmsby in Call the Midwife (Season 9).

Since 2022, he has starred as Jack, a grieving, closeted teen, in the Channel 4 series Big Boys, a semi-autobiographical role based on creator Jack Rooke. In 2023, he joined the Death in Paradise spin-off Beyond Paradise as PC Kelby Hartford.

Other appearances include Pistol (2022, as Wally Nightingale), The Crystal Maze (2018), The Inbetweeners: Fwends Reunited (2019), The One Show (2019), Lorraine (2019), Celebrity Mastermind (2019), and a Derry Girls-themed Great British Bake Off (2020).

He performed a sketch with Derry Girls co-stars and Saoirse Ronan for RTÉ Does Comic Relief (2020) to aid COVID-19 relief efforts. Dylan has also acted in London theater productions, including Lord of the Flies (2015, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre).

Personal Life

Dylan Llewellyn, resides near his hometown of Reigate, Surrey, maintaining close ties to his family. He is single, with no confirmed romantic relationships, though a 2013 tweet expressed a desire for a girlfriend with the hashtag “lonely.”

He keeps his personal life private, and speculation about his sexuality—stemming from his Derry Girls and Big Boys roles portraying characters exploring their identities—has been clarified: he is not gay but supports the LGBTQ+ community.

His dyslexia continues to pose challenges with script memorization, though he finds scripts easier than books due to their formatting. Dylan credits his time at More House School for building his confidence and describes his Derry Girls co-stars, particularly Saoirse-Monica Jackson, as close friends, likening the female cast to sisters.

He enjoys posting childhood photos with his brothers and maintains a low-key lifestyle, with no major controversies. Fans on X praise his relatable performances, especially in Big Boys and Derry Girls.
