Facts About Callum Turner

No Pressure?: Callum Turner experienced the daunting challenge of being cast for his feature film debut as the younger self of filmmaker John Boorman in his autobiographical movie, Queen and Country (2014).

Middle Name: Turner’s unusual (and French) middle name was given to him by his mother to honor her late friend, poet David Robilliard, who had died two years before Turner was born in 1990.
