Fifteen-year-old British newcomer Owen Cooper made Emmy history Sunday night, becoming the youngest male actor ever to win the prestigious award. His breakout role in Netflix’s Adolescence earned him Best Supporting Actor at the 77th Emmy Awards.
Beating over 500 hopefuls to play a teen accused of murder, Cooper’s raw talent stunned both audiences and critics.
In his speech, he urged viewers to "step out of your comfort zone" — a bold message from a star just rising. Adolescence swept the night with six wins, as Cooper cemented his place as Hollywood’s next big name.
