Carey Mulligan's soldier brother has had a VERY different career to the famous actress as he flew to Afghanistan while his sister boarded DiCaprio's private jet


His career couldn't be more different to that of his award-winning actress sister Carey Mulligan.

While the Great Gatsby star attended glitzy red carpets and movie sets, her brother Owain has spent his career dodging bombs and bullets in war-torn countries. Dealing with warring militias, keeping areas secure and the emotional toll of losing comrades, Owain served in three operational tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, despite it never being his full time job. And now Owain has shared an insight into his career in his upcoming memoir The Accidental Soldier as he admits that while he was flying to Afghanistan, Carey, who he has described as his 'best friend', was boarding Leonardo DiCaprio's private jet.
