At an early age, the boy moves with his family from France to the UK, in the county of Oxfordshire. His parents are getting divorced, and Alex Watson is left to live with his mother and his older sister Emma. A warm relationship was established between the brother and sister from early childhood, often Emma took her younger brother to various events.
In the cinema
It is believed that the young man became involved in the magical world of cinema thanks to his older sister, who took him to the shooting of the cult franchise "Harry Potter", where he played a cameo role. However, the filmography of Alex Watson begins much earlier, with participation in the creation of the drama series "The Bold and the Beautiful." Later, he played the role of a secondary character in a 1999 drama comedy called Fury. In the early 2000s, Alex really was during the extras during the filming process of two episodes of a series of paintings about Harry Potter, but his surname is not indicated in the credits, and his "close-up" is not in the timing of the tapes.
Until 2016, Alex Watson managed to star in several short films, and in 2017 he joined the ensemble of the series “Girl Gun”. Two new projects with his participation are also being prepared for release - Booster Mom and The Creatress.
In the modeling business
To try to realize their potential in the modeling business, Alex Watson was advised by his older sister Emma. The fact is that, being the face of the British fashion house Burberry, the actress often took her younger brother with her to fashion and advertising displays of the brand. Once, during a regular visit to a fashion house, a young man was invited to an interview with creative director Christopher Bailey. So Alex Watson got to the casting of the advertising campaign Burberry, successfully passed it and signed a contract.
And although in an interview with media Alex claims that he does not intend to build a long career as a model, now he enjoys every moment of his work in the fashion industry. At the same time, Watson emphasizes that he is not particularly worried about how he looks, does not follow any diets, he is convinced that beauty is a subjective concept.
