Noah Jupe was born in the United Kingdom to actress
Katy Cavanagh (
Coronation Street) and British filmmaker and producer Chris Jupe.
Noah grew up in the U.K., and before landing his first role at 10 years old with a guest role on the British series
Penny Dreadful in 2015, Noah attended Cheadle Hulme school in Cheadle, Cheshire (near Manchester), where he was a member of the relay swimming team. Noah also plays field hockey for Alderly Edge hockey club when he isn’t busy filming.
He quickly started landing more TV parts, appearing in season six of
Downton Abbey and in the mini-series
Houdini and Doyle (playing the role of Kingsley Conan Doyle), in addition to the award-winning mini-series
The Night Manager with
Tom Hiddleston and
Hugh Laurie.
On the big screen, Noah played Nicky, the son of Matt Damon's character, in the George Clooney-directed
Suburbicon(2017). During a press conference at the Toronto International Film Festival, Clooney said of Noah, “The kid [
Noah Jupe] was hard to find. He’s British, believe it or not, and we budgeted more time for him, but he did everything in one take. It was really humiliating to watch as an actor, him nailing it every time. [laughs] I played a pediatrician on ER for years so I worked with a lot of child actors you know, and 99 percent of them shouldn’t be there, it’s really more about the parents. But this kid is just dead center great and easy, and he had to do a lot of really weird emotional stuff, like
Matt Damon telling him he’s gonna kill him.”
Noah also plays a supporting role in
Wonder (2017) as the lead character Auggie’s best friend, Jack Will. He also played a role in the short film
My Pretty Pony (2017) an adaption of a
Stephen King short story of the same name, in which he appeared alongside
Tobin Bell of the
Saw franchise.
Noah had three projects in 2018. He played Lucas Janssen in
The Titan with
Sam Worthington,
Marcus in Paramount Pictures'
A Quiet Place (starring
Emily Blunt and directed by/starring
John Krasinski) and Doxy in
Holmes and Watson (2018) alongside
Will Ferrell,
John C. Reilly and
Ralph Fiennes for 20th Century Fox.
