What is famous for the young actor Henry Hopper? What started his career in Hollywood cinema? How is the personal life of the artist? We will talk about this and many other things further in the presented material.
early years
Henry Hopper was born on September 11, 1990 in Los Angeles, in the family of Hollywood movie stars. The boy’s parents decided to divorce when he was not yet two years old. Henry has sisters named Marin, Helen, and Rutanna. All of them were born from different marriages of the guy’s father. The mother also had a second child - daughter Eloise, born 2014.
Henry Hopper first appeared in films at the age of five. The kid got a role in the action-packed thriller "Alone with the Killer". It is noteworthy that here the growing actor played with his mother, actress Katherine Lanasa.
Under the strict control of his father, director Denis Hopper, a boy from the age of 14 attended numerous stage courses. As a result, the guy became one of the best graduates of the Institute of Cinema and Theater Lee Strasberg. As Henry Hopper himself noted, acting training allowed him to escape from the troubles that awaited him when communicating with dysfunctional friends.
At the age of 16, a guy who regularly took part in theatrical productions was noticed by a Hollywood agent. The latter invited the young actor to star in several television series. However, the novice artist refused such a sudden development of events.
Upon reaching adulthood, Henry Hopper entered the California Institute of the Arts. He was engaged in painting, studied sculpture. But literally a year later he decided to quit his studies. The young artist moved to Berlin, where he spent time with fellow artists, trying himself as a director of amateur, low-budget films.
Movie debut
In 2008, the actor received an offer to star in the horror (horror film) directed by Wes Craven's Take My Soul. However, he was soon diagnosed with mononucleosis. The treatment of the disease permanently knocked the guy out of action, so the director had to replace the artist with another actor.
Hopper received his first major film role in 2011. The debut work was the participation in the film "Do not give up", the creator of which was the shocking director Gus Van Saint.
In the same 2011, Henry, in collaboration with a Hollywood star - James Franco, got into the movie "Rebel", which was directed by director Harmony Corin. The short film talked about the life of the legendary American actor James Dean, whose life suddenly ended in a tragic way. The film "Rebel", despite its insignificant timing, was a success with the audience. To foster interest in the picture, before its shows, Henry performed on stage as a DJ.

Scandal in the life of an actor
In 2011, Henry Hopper received a lawsuit. The actor was accused of molesting and raping a 15-year-old girl. The latter took place under the name Jen Dow. He is entered in the paper if the participant in the trial does not want to reveal his identity.
According to the mother of the victim, the incident took place in the summer of 2011, when Henry Hopper invited the young girl to rest in his own mansion. According to the prosecution, here young people were addicted to drinking alcohol and taking drugs. Then came sexual harassment by the actor.
