From down and out to Dua Lipa: How Callum Turner went from being a cannabis 'addict' with three jobs on a London council estate to rising star and pop singer's new love interest (though he did have a famous godfather!)


Gazing out the window of his fourth-floor bedroom, over the red-brick London council estate where he grew up, Callum Turner dreamed of something more.

His mother, Rosemary, a nightclub promoter who brought Callum up single-handedly, couldn’t afford match tickets, so he’d stay in on Saturday afternoons, throw open the windows and listen to the roars echoing across the skyline. Callum Turner hit the headlines this month after confirming his romance with singer (and fellow Londoner) Dua Lipa , 28, with the pair spotted kissing on a balcony at a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles Eventually clean, he got his first big break in the 2012 ITV series Leaving, playing a young man in a relationship with an older, married woman ( Helen McCrory), and soon afterwards starred in Queen And Country, director John Boorman’s 2014 sequel to Oscar-nominated film Hope And Glory.
