Freddie Highmore Net Worth $4 Million

Freddie was born into a show business family, with his mother being a talent agent who handled names including Daniel Radcliffe and Imelda Staunton. He attended Hampstead Garden Suburb before going to Highgate School. After matriculating, he attended Emmanuel College at the University of Cambridge, studying languages such as Arabic and Spanish.

Even while he was attending school, he was already doing a lot of acting. He started out in a small role when he was seven years old, in the film “Women Talking Dirt”, in which he appeared alongside Helena Bonham Carter. He also appeared in the television series “The Mists of Avalon” in which he portrayed a young King Arthur. This was followed by “Happy Birthday Shakespeare” and “Jack and the Beanstalk: The Real Story” in which he acted alongside his father. Three years after “Jack in the Beanstalk”, he was seen in big films such as “Two Brothers”, and “Five Children and It”, a film that starred Kenneth Branagh. These were a positive start to his net worth.

He then began to earn international recognition, as well as an increase in net worth after the critically acclaimed “Finding Neverland”. He received numerous nominations and several awards for his performance, including a Critics’ Choice Movie Award for Best Young Performer. A year later, he starred in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” with Johnny Depp. According to reports, it was Johnny who recommended him for the role, after working with him in “Finding Neverland”. He won multiple awards once again, along with numerous nominations; he also lent his voice to a video game based on the film. After appearing as a young version of Russel Crowe’s character in “A Good Year”, he then went on to do voice acting in “Arthur and the Invisibles”. This was followed by two sequels entitled “Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard” and “Arthur 3: The War of the Two Worlds” – he also provided voice acting for the video game associated with the films. This pattern continued in 2007 with “The Golden Compass”, and he was also part of the film “August Rush” alongside Robin Williams, Keri Russell and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Doing work on films and voice acting, he would go on and make his next projects which included “The Spiderwick Chronicles”, “Astro Boy”, and “The Art of Getting By”.

For his recent work, he’s been a part of “Bates Motel”, a prequel series for the film “Psycho” that restarts the story in present times. He’s been nominated multiple times for that role as well. He’s also expected to continue voice acting and has some films and series currently in production.

For his personal life, Freddie keeps any relationships private. Surprisingly, he has stated that he does not plan on continuing to act as an adult. He plays the clarinet, guitar, and knows multiple languages including French and Spanish. He also enjoys video games, and playing soccer.

Quote
1 [on celebrity] As long as you don’t stand on the corner and wave your arms about, people don’t notice you too much.
2 Scary is good. Kids like going to a movie and being really scared rather than fake scared.
3 [Talking about his dressing room demands] Because I’m a spoiled little brat, I absolutely always insist on a table and chair and lighting. This February I’m even going to demand heating.
4 It’s nice to pick up the guitar now and again and play back the songs and be reminded of the film — but if you gave me any other songs to play, I wouldn’t be very good at them.
5 [Talking about being treated like an adult] That was really important for me, although I think I am a bit more mature than some kids my age because I’ve spent more time with adults. And I haven’t grown my hair over my eyes or anything.
6 I try and stay a normal kid as much as possible. At the weekend I play soccer with my friends.
7 I try to stay a normal boy as much as possible. I play soccer on the weekend with my friend. I play video games, but not as much as Mike Teavee [the video-game addict in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)]. I quite enjoy soccer games. I support the team called Arsenal. They just won the [English Football Association] Cup.
8 I’m not sure what I would like to do when I’m older. I might want to travel and see the world. That would be quite fun.
9 Well, you just sort of think about what the character’s thinking, and then you’re in the character.
10 When I left the set of Finding Neverland (2004), I was quite upset, because I thought I wouldn’t see Johnny again. And Charlie wants to go back to the chocolate factory. We both got our wishes.
