Early Life and Education

Toby Finn Regbo was born on October 18, 1991, in Hammersmith, London, England, to a British mother, Chiara Ghiggini, of Italian descent, and a Norwegian father, Tom Regbo, whose family name was originally Hansen (changed due to its commonality in Norway). His maternal grandfather was an Italian cruise ship captain, and his maternal grandmother was an Australian ballerina.

Raised alongside his younger brother, Louis, Toby developed an early interest in acting through school plays, though his first acting experience—portraying a plant in front of a mirror—was unmemorable.

He attended Latymer Upper School in West London, where he nurtured his passion for drama. Encouraged by his mother, he joined the Young Blood Theatre Company, which provided early acting training and stage experience, setting the foundation for his professional career.

Career

Toby Regbo began his acting career in 2006 with a small role as an Ensign in the ITV television film Sharpe’s Challenge. In 2007, he played American teen spy Chad Turner in an episode of the CBBC series M.I. High.

His breakthrough came in 2009, portraying 15-year-old Nemo Nobody in the science fiction drama Mr. Nobody alongside Jared Leto and Juno Temple, earning praise as one of the Toronto International Film Festival’s “Top 10 New Faces & Voices.”

That same year, he played Michael Walton in Glorious 39 and made his stage debut as Eliot in Polly Stenham’s Tusk Tusk at the Royal Court Theatre, receiving critical acclaim for his performance.

In 2010, he portrayed young Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1, reprising the role in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018).

Other film roles include James Sveck in Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You (2011), Samuel in One Day (2011), and John in Uwantme2killhim? (2013), where he and co-star Jamie Blackley won the Edinburgh International Film Festival Award for Best Performance in a British Feature Film.

From 2013 to 2017, Toby starred as Francis II of France in 51 episodes of The CW’s Reign, exiting due to the character’s historical death.

He played Æthelred in The Last Kingdom (2017–2020), Tommaso Peruzzi in Medici (2019), and Jack Blackfriars in A Discovery of Witches (2022). In 2023, he starred in Platform 7, and he is currently involved in Belgravia: The Next Chapter (2024–present).

He was cast in the unproduced Game of Thrones prequel Bloodmoon. Toby is also a musician, though no specific music projects are documented.

Personal Life

Toby Regbo resides in London and is single, keeping his romantic life private. Rumors linked him with Reign co-star Adelaide Kane in 2013–2014, but both confirmed they were only friends, with strong on-screen chemistry.

Another unconfirmed rumor involved Kate Heath, a London bakery owner, but no evidence supports this. Toby supports LGBTQ+ rights, leading to speculation about his orientation, which he has not addressed; he identifies as agnostic, expressing skepticism about organized religion in a Q&A.

He is a vegetarian, advocates for veganism, and enjoys running, often participating in charity marathons. His pet peeves include loud chewing and littering, and he admires David Attenborough’s wildlife documentaries.

Toby took a three-month social media hiatus to focus on reading and has expressed interest in a Blood Meridian film adaptation. He prefers dogs over cats and favors tea over coffee due to caffeine-induced anxiety.

No major controversies are associated with him, and fans on X praise his charm and talent.
