Asa Butterfield Net Worth $5 Million

Asa was born to Jacqueline Farr and Sam Butterfield, and since from an early age became focused on acting. When he was seven years old, Asa acted at the Young Actors` Theater Islington, mostly after school, and just two years later made his screen debut in the drama film “After Thomas”, as Andrew, which featured Keeley Hawes and Ben Miles as leads. In 2007 he had a small role in Garth Jennings` “Son of Rainbow”, only to then obtain a lead role in the Mark Herman`s war drama “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas”, next to David Thewlis and Rupert Friend. In the process, Asa proved better than hundreds of children, which showed how talented he is. From that point on, his net worth has only gone upwards.

In 2010, Asa appeared in the fantasy horror “The Wolfman” as the lead character`s young version, while the adult alter ego was portrayed by Benicio Del Toro. The same year Asa had a supporting role in the comedy “Nanny McPhee Returns”, next to Maggie Gyllenhaal, Emma Thompson and Ralph Fiennes, and the next year he landed the lead role of Hugo Cabret in Scorsese`s “Hugo”. The role only further increased his net worth and put his name on the Hollywood map; he received high praises for his portrayal, and was also nominated for the Saturn Award in the category Best Performance by a Younger Actor.

He continued to feature as a lead in high profile films, and in 2013 he portrayed Ender Wiggin in the sci-fi action “Ender`s Game” with Harrison Ford and Hailee Steinfeld, and a year later he appeared as Nathan Ellis in Morgan Matthews` drama “A Brilliant Young Mind”, and most recently he was cast as Jake in Tim Burton`s “Miss Peregrine`s Home for Peculiar Children” (2016). He is currently working on several projects, including the films “The Space Between Us” starring Britt Robertson, Janet Montgomery and Carla Gugino, which will be released in 2017, and another lead in “The House of Tomorrow”, which is also projected for 2017 release.

Thanks to his skills, Asa has received several prestigious nominations and awards, including the Young Hollywood Award in category Breakthrough Performance – Male, for the film “Hugo”.

Regarding his personal life, Asa was in a relationship with actress Ella Purnell in 2015, but for the time being he is single. Other details about his young life are unknown in the media.

Quote
1 I always think that trying to push yourself as an actor in a direction that you’ve never been before, developing characters which are more difficult to get into the head of, or are more interesting and further away from yourself, is always a challenge. But, you want to take up that challenge and try your best.
2 People think when you’re moving in Zero-G, it’s like moving in jelly. But it’s not. You’re completely free to move however fast as you want.
3 When you have a book as material as it is, it’s a lot easier to create a character because you have so many resources to draw upon when acting.
4 My little sister, who is four, can work my mom’s iPhone better than she can.
5 I think I can speak for a lot of people in that they would be pretty nervous about meeting Harrison Ford, and I was definitely one of those people.
6 Don’t do piracy. Piracy’s a crime.
Fact
1 He was one of the final candidates for the third film incarnation of Peter Parker/Spider-Man, though Tom Holland was cast instead. On May 14, 2015, film journalist Umberto Gonzalez reported that Asa had already been chosen for the role, a story carried by most film news sites. In both the 2010 and 2015 casting cycles for Spider-Man, no actor reported by film websites as being all-but-confirmed for the role has ever ended up actually cast as Spider-Man. The other actors erroneously reported to have been cast are Logan Lerman (in April 2010), Jamie Bell (in early June 2010), Josh Hutcherson (on June 30, 2010, one day before the official casting of Andrew Garfield), and Dylan O’Brien (in March 2015).
2 On his father’s side, he is the grandson of Jeanne Elizabeth (Hewett) and Roy Butterfield, who is an Emeritus Professor in Engineering and the Environment.
3 His dream role would be to play James Bond.
4 In Indonesian, Asa means “Hope”.
5 In Greenlandic Asa means “loved one”.
6 His name Asa means “wing” in Portuguese.
7 Has worked twice with Ben Kingsley in the movies Hugo and Ender’s Game.
8 He developed an iPad app called “Racing Blind” together with his father and brother. It is the only game available on the app store that is meant to be played with the eyes closed.
9 He grew two inches while shooting Ender’s Game (2013).
10 In his GCSEs he got 1 A*, 3 A’s and 6 B’s.
11 He’s a fan of professional gamer and caster “Destiny”.
12 He is a supporter of the Arsenal Football Club.
13 In Hebrew, “Asa” means “healer” or “physician”, also spelled “Ase”. The name “Asa” appears in the Old Testament to designate the third King of Judah.

Marina Abramović’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Marina Abramovic Net Worth: Marina Abramovic is a Serbian performance artist who has a net worth of $10 million. Abramovic, who considers herself the grandmother of performance art, was born in Belgrade, Serbia on November 30, 1946. Active for more than three decades, Abramovic’s performances are characteristic for exploring the boundaries of human body and the power of the mind. In one of her acts, she even lit herself on fire in a large petroleum-drenched star. After cutting her finger nails, toe nails, and hair and thrusting them all into the fire, she made herself into the star. She passed out due to lack of oxygen and had to be removed by a medical team when she became inert to the flames approaching her. During the 1970´s she performed in a series of acts called Rhythm series. During these performances she submitted herself to a sequence of cuts and pain sessions. In one of these performances she had the audience decide what she would do with the objects that she had brought on stage. In 1976, she moved to Amsterdam where she made a mutual act with the West German performer UweLaysiepen. They performed together for around a decade. Today, Marina is still performing on stage. On November 2005, she starred in a series of performances called: “Seven Easy Pieces” in New York City. Marina has been honored with a number of awards and prizes including the New York Dance and Performances award and earned recognition for best show by the International Association of Critics in 2003.
