Adolescence: A Synopsis
«Adolescence,» a four-part mini-series that dominated Netflix’s most-watched list, revolves around the story of a 13-year-old boy arrested for the murder of a classmate. The show sparked a strong response from viewers and initiated a national conversation about misogyny and online safety. Co-creator Jack Thorne even engaged in a discussion with the Prime Minister on these topics in March.
In addition to its compelling storyline, «Adolescence» was lauded for its innovative filming techniques, with each episode shot in one continuous take.
Stephen Graham and Jake Gyllenhaal Surprise Owen Cooper
In the series, Jamie’s father was portrayed by Stephen Graham, who also served as the co-creator and co-writer of «Adolescence.» Before the awards ceremony, Cooper, a native of Warrington, received a surprise visit from his acting hero, Jake Gyllenhaal.
Gyllenhaal walked in unannounced during an interview Cooper was giving to the press, and the two shared a heartfelt moment. Gyllenhaal gifted Cooper a «lucky duck,» drawing from his own experience of receiving a similar token of luck before his Academy Award nomination for «Brokeback Mountain.»
«It’s just a ‘Lucky Duck’ to keep in your pocket. To give you a little bit of luck,» Gyllenhaal explained to Cooper, who was only 14 at the time of filming «Adolescence» and had no prior acting experience.
