Early life

Dickinson was born 24 June 1996 in Leytonstone, East London, and grew up in Highams Park. At seventeen, he dropped out of school, where he was trying to study film and theatre. Dickinson almost opted for a career in the Royal Marines, before being convinced to return to the theatre by his coach at RAW Academy in London. Dickinson commented that a lot of people choose not to follow their p*ions "because they're scared, or don't have the support network."

Acting career

Film

In 2016, Dickinson was cast as Frankie, a young man struggling with his sexuality, in Eliza Hittman's film Beach Rats. The Times critic Ed Potton highlighted Dickinson as having "perfected a south Brooklyn accent" as Frankie. For his performance, Dickinson was nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead and the Gotham Independent Film Award for Breakthrough Actor. In 2021, Dickinson starred in the third installment of the Kingsman film series The King's Man as Conrad Oxford. The role gained him his first BAFTA Film Award nomination for the EE Rising Star Award. In 2022, he starred in Triangle of Sadness as a model on a cruise. The film premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. Reviewing the film, Variety's Peter Debruge wrote Dickinson "brings a kind of fragile vulnerability to the Abercrombie frat-boy type". Dickinson is set to star in Where the Crawdads Sing, a film adaptation of Delia Owens' novel of the same name, set for a July 2022 release.

Television

In 2018, Dickinson starred in the FX drama series Trust as John Paul Getty III alongside Donald Sutherland and Hilary Swank, among others.
