Mackenzie Crook's actor son Jude, 21, quietly follows in his footsteps by launching an acting career after spending his childhood hanging out with Johnny Depp on sets


Like his father, Jude doesn't court the limelight, yet has been quietly working away behind the scenes on a career in the movie industry.

At just three weeks old he was flown out to St Vincent, where his father was filming Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl alongside the likes of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley. Despite growing up around Hollywood A-listers and enjoying lavish trips to the Caribbean, Jude had a down to earth upbringing and spend his childhood outside exploring along with younger sister Scout - named after To Kill A Mockingbird. A keen conservationist, Mackenzie owns an an eight-acre wood in Essex, full of hornbeam, oak and sweet chestnut, where Jude would spend weekends with him (pictured 2004)
