Most 15-year-old lads spend their Saturday nights knocking about with their mates talking about what they’ve watched on TikTok.
But Owen Cooper, the break-out star from hit Netflix series Adolescence, after his incredible performance as Jamie Miller, has found himself living the Hollywood high life.

His next big role is in Wuthering Heights alongside Margot Robbie, where he plays a young version of Heathcliff.
And on Saturday he spent the evening hobnobbing in Mark’s private members club in London’s Mayfair — after Margot invited him along to a very posh wrap party.
My mole told me: “Margot threw a massive party to celebrate finishing Wuthering Heights and Owen was invited along too.
“It was a closed off function so it didn’t matter that he was under age.
“Owen looked like he had a fantastic time and everyone in the room wanted to speak to him about how amazing they thought he was.”
Treating her cast and crew at Mark’s Club, which is tucked away off Berkeley Square, Margot also splashed out on £500-a-go bottles of red wine and gave a speech before the dancing started.
“Owen was on the dancefloor with Margot,” my mole added. “They were having a ball.
“He must be pinching himself. One minute you’re a young actor trying to catch your big break.
“The next minute you’re dancing with Margot.”
Margot isn’t the only big A-list fan of Owen though. His fellow co-star Jacob Elordi, who plays Heathcliff, was seen chatting away to the young actor. My insider said: “Jacob arrived late and made a beeline for Owen.
“They were tucked away in a corner and were talking for quite a while.
“The party went on late but Owen left at a decent time. He might be a big star now but he’s still a young lad who needs a decent night’s sleep.”
I’m not sure the same can be said for the rest of the revellers mind.
Red wine gives me the most disgusting hangovers…

Sabrina Carpenter was living la dolce vita on a holiday with her mates.
The Taste singer, who headed to Italy for a well-earned break from her world tour, shared some wholesome pictures on Instagram before getting back on stage last night in Denmark.
With a schedule as crazy as Sabrina’s, every holiday will be Short N Sweet.
Hardman Jase melts Snow
Jason Statham’s new film A Working Man has smashed Snow White at the box office – and his takings are only going to get bigger.
A Working Man earned almost £13m in its first two days of release while Snow White, starring Rachel Zegler, banked just over £10m in the US in that same period.
A film insider told me: “It is astonishing how much of a box office giant Jason has become.
“A Working Man taking on and beating Snow White is a huge win. The Disney film may have been criticised, but it had a huge PR campaign and was in lots of cinemas.
“Jason did barely any promotion and yet fans turned out in their droves to watch him do what he has done many many times.”
The Snow White remake looks like utter rubbish, so I won’t be wasting my money watching it.
Give me a bit of hardman Jason any day.
Ozzy: I’ll be Black
Ozzy Osbourne’s final gig with Black Sabbath is set for Birmingham, but pals say he’s not done yet[/caption]
His huge final gig with Black Sabbath in Birmingham is just three months away.
But while it’s billed as the last time Ozzy Osbourne will perform with Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward, friends say he’s not ready to quit.
They said: “Publicly, this summer is about Ozzy saying farewell with Black Sabbath.
“But he’s not calling time on his career yet. Oz has made it clear he doesn’t want to retire and stop making music.
“He’s already thinking about what’s next beyond the Villa Park gig – and Sharon is backing him all the way.
“None of us can see Ozzy staying at home resting after this show. He’ll be desperate to get that buzz – it’s in his DNA.”
Ozzy’s show at Aston Villa’s stadium on July 5 will be unmissable, with Slayer and Metallica also performing to raise cash for charity.
The gig is the day after Oasis’ reunion in Cardiff, so I’ll need to stay sober enough to survive both shows!
Alicia’s key move
Alicia Keys was more than red-dy to honour Gracie Abrams at a posh do in Los Angeles.
The No One singer, who co-founded not for profit organisation She Is The Music, looked effortlessly cool in red leather jacket and trousers.
At the ceremony Alicia paid tribute to Gracie and her song That’s So True, which topped the UK singles chart for eight non-consecutive weeks.
Alicia shared pictures from the event with her 27.5million Instagram followers and said: “An evening dedicated to celebrating exceptional women for their remarkable achievement, contribution and impact in music.
“Cheers to all 50 honorees, each one also brought a rising star with them.”
Prelude to Miley’s return
Miley Cyrus teased her new album Something Beautiful[/caption]
Miley Cyrus dropped her first tracks yesterday from ninth album Something Beautiful and hopes they are a sign of things to come.
Prelude is moody and very dramatic, and sees Miley speaking against the backdrop of loud electric notes.
And a few hours later the album’s title track was released and ramped up the drama again with two loud guitar interludes.
She has said the album was born out of her love of Pink Floyd’s 1979 visual album The Wall.
Miley said: “We really leaned in. My idea was making The Wall, but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture.”
She certainly nailed the glamour and in the video for Something Beautiful she wears an original custom made look from designer Casey Cadwallader.
The album, out May 30, which will be accompanied by a feature length film that has Naomi Campbell making a cameo.
Insiders told me that this has been Miley’s “most ambitious project ever,” so I’m sure it’s going to deliver.
Sam can bank on future
Sam Fender’s SF Touring Ltd bounced back from zero in 2023 to a tasty £3million last year[/caption]
Sam Fender has had quite a year already – and we’re only in April.
As well as landing a No1 album with People Watching, winning the best alternative/rock Brit Award and kicking off his massive new tour, the Geordie star is also raking it in.
Sam’s SF Touring Ltd had a zero cash balance back in 2023.
But new documents have shown that last year, it had a tasty £3million in the coffers.
I’ve no doubt when his accounts for this year come out in 2026, it’s going to be more than double that.
Sam is currently playing huge shows across North America, with his next gig in Vancouver on Saturday.
He will head back to Blighty next month for five concerts on home soil, including three massive shows at Newcastle United’s ground, St James’ Park, which have all sold out.
Bank it wisely, Sam, and you’ll live out your days like a King.
Idris: Stateside move made me leading man
Idris Elba has confessed that he wasn’t seen as a sexy leading man until he moved to the States[/caption]
Luther and The Wire have made Idris Elba a household name in the UK.
But he has confessed that he wasn’t seen as a sexy leading man until he moved to the States.
Appearing on new documentary film Number One On The Call Sheet, Idris said: “When I was in my late teens thinking I want to be an actor, my dad was like ‘Most actors don’t work,’ and he was right.
“There was a statistic that said 80 per cent of actors are unemployed and as a black man you might as well forget it.
“That was my dad telling me that in my late teenage years. And I was thinking, ‘No that cannot be true?’
“Then I get to America and that was the first time I had someone call me chocolate.
“It was a revelation for me among African American culture, the darker the berry the sweeter the juice.
“And before you know it I was being regarded as sexy and that became part of my career journey playing handsome characters.
“It is a privilege; I am not going to lie. I’ve been called worse, let’s put it that way.”
Ian lords it up at Usher’s after-party
Head to Usher’s O2 residency for some serious star spotting[/caption]
Usher’s residency at London’s O2 is proving to be an incredible place to spot stars.
And when he held a second after-party with Spotify in The Box in Soho on Sunday night, which went on until the early hours of yesterday morning, we saw celebs including Headie One and Rio Ferdinand partying with Usher, along with one huge movie star I wasn’t expecting to see.
The Lord Of The Rings legend Ian McKellen was front and centre at the rowdy bash.
An insider told me: “Don’t be fooled, Ian loves a bit of Usher.”
Who knew?
Who’s that with Bill?
Famous faces were out in force at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Sunday night as The Who got up on stage for the Teenage Cancer Trust charity gig.
And among the stars watching Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend perform was acting legend Bill Murray.
The Ghostbuster even popped back stage to grab a selfie with Roger. I asked my spies if Kelis, Bill’s one-time squeeze, was anywhere to be seen but alas the singer was a no show.
Given all those blokes knocking around her yard for her milkshakes, she’s probably had a better offer. No offence, Bill.
