Luke Thompson plays Benedict Bridgerton in the hit Netflix series Bridgerton, but how old is he, does he have a girlfriend and what is his net worth? Here are all the answers.
Bridgerton season 3 part 2 is upon us and all eyes will be on Benedict Bridgerton, played by actor Luke Thompson, as the series progresses as he becomes the main sibling poised for the lead in season 4.
With the cast of Bridgerton becoming hugely popular both on and off TV screens, we take a closer look at Luke, from his age, girlfriend, height and other shows and movies he has been in as we suspect he could become the face of the next season.
With his love story already beginning to play out in season 3, Benedict's relationship drama is being mixed in with brother Colin (Luke Newton) and Penelope's (Nicola Coughlan) complicated future as well as his younger sister Francesca (Hannah Dodd) who is attempting to find a match.
So as we prepare to see a whole lot more of Benedict on our screens, here's a closer look at his life outside of the show including his net worth and fellow Bridgerton star romance.
Luke Thompson is 35-years-old. His character Benedict is 28 years old in the show.
He was born on the 4th of July 1985 in Southampton, but brought up in France.
Luke Thompson was rumoured to be dating fellow Bridgerton star Harriet Cains, 30, who plays Phillippa Featherington in the show.
While neither party have confirmed nor denied the romance rumours, the pair were pictured hugging each other at the Vanity Fair EE Rising Star Party earlier this year.
Of course, Bridgerton has propelled Luke to another level of stardom as it again becomes one of the most popular shows on the streaming service.
Prior to joining the cast of Bridgerton, Luke has appeared in show such as Transatlantic and Kiss Me First.
He also had a movie role in Dunkirk and his place in Shakespeare's Globe: A Midsummer Night's Dream was a huge success.
Luke Thompson net worth is reportedly $2million, according to Popular Networth.
It's believed the majority of his earnings is solely from his career in TV and movies. It is not known whether he has any side projects.
Luke Thompson is 5ft 9in, making him 1.8m tall.
