When mentioning F4, people will immediately think of the 4 handsome boys in the Asian hit movie “Boys Over Flowers”. After the movie, many new slang words were born and are still commonly used today. The F4 quartet became the standard of beauty when after many years, people still mention the phrase “handsome like F4”.
If more than 10 years ago, 9x, 10x were still crazy about the “Korean fever”, now, F4 London has become an equally “hot” keyword. F4 London is the name given to 4 young British actors with great potential including Tom Holland (1996), Freddie Highmore (1992), Asa Butterfield (1997) and Thomas Brodie-Sangster (1990).
Explaining this attraction, it can be said that these are all 4 actors who started their careers at a young age, “successfully growing up” to become the most beloved British actors. The Western beauty that is pure and “youthful school garden” is the final factor that makes netizens not hesitate to group the four actors into F4 – “The Four Heavenly Kings”. Let’s take a look back at the career of F4 London!
Freddie Highmore
The actor impresses with his intelligent, pure and bright face in every appearance. Starting his career at the age of 12 with “Finding Neverland” (2004), then “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” (2005), Freddie became a part of the childhood of many Vietnamese audiences. In a fun survey, Freddie was the most favorite character in F4 London, with a voting rate of 46%.
With the advantage of appearance, Freddie left his mark with handsome, intelligent, adventurous roles, but also a bit “silly” in love affairs (typically the role of genius doctor Shaun Murphy in the series “The good doctor”). Unlike Tom Holland, Freddie does not challenge his acting in art films or blockbusters, but on the contrary, “wants to participate in more roles in the film industry”.
“I’ve always had a natural curiosity to play multiple roles. Not only developing my own ideas and projects, but also wanting to be a producer in the broader sense, helping other people tell their stories.” The inquisitive, introspective nature of Freddie’s characters certainly resonates with the actor in real life.
