However, when he started attending school, he discovered he had a “kick” from entertaining. In his 2016 conversation with Interview magazine, he revealed:

“I first became interested when I was in school. I was surrounded by people who were into acting. I had a teacher who I got along with, one of my favorite teachers, and he got me into it. Trying to entertain was something I always got a kick from. It excited me quite a lot. Growing up, it was a hobby, always something I did with friends—we’d put on shows. Then I joined the National Youth Theatre when I was 17, which was great ’cause we it’s a bunch of young people like myself.”


Finn Cole considers Peaky Blinders his “first real experience of acting”

One thing led to another, and I found myself in the audition room with Colm McCarthy, Shaheen Baig, and Laurie Borg.”
