Jamie Bell (Actor) Net Worth $6 million
To begin with, Bell was raised in Billingham – he never knew his father because he left the family before Andrew was born. He grew up in a family of dancers: his grandmother, mother, aunt and his sister have always practiced this profession. As a child he joined an ice hockey team, but soon abandoned sport because of what he regarded as excessive violence, and from the age of six, he decided to take dance lessons. Later, he divided his time between cashier work, acting classes and the prestigious Royal Ballet School in London.
At Christmas 1998, he debuted on stage in the theatrical production of “Bugsy Malone”. At the age of 14, Bell participated in a competition with 2000 other boys for the lead role in the film “Billy Elliot”. The director of the film Stephen Daldry saw in him the perfect interpreter of a young man who redeems himself from an unhappy existence, thanks to his love for dance – the film was released in 2000, and earned Bell a myriad of awards, among others the BAFTA Film, British Independent Film and National Board of Review Awards. In 2002, the actor landed the main role in the horror film “Deathwatch” directed by Michael J. Bassett, as well as being cast as a main in the drama film “Nicholas Nickleby”, directed by Douglas McGrath. In 2004, he won Young Artist Award for the role of Chris Munn in the psychological thriller film “Undertow” by David Gordon Green, and followed with lead roles in the films “Dear Wendy” (2005) and “The Chumscrubber” (2005). The same year, the actor was cast as a main in the blockbuster “King Kong”, co-written, produced and directed by Peter Jackson – the film was praised by critics as well as grossing $550.5 million at the box office. Bell then starred in Clint Eastwood’s war film “Flags of Our Fathers” in 2006, before interpreting the main character in the drama film “Hallam Foe”, which is based on the novel of the same name written by Peter Jinks. The decade continued with the actor starring opposite Hayden Christensen in science fiction film “Jumper” (2008), which grossed $222.2 at the box office, and the same year he was seen in the film “Defiance”.
2011 was a busy year for Bell he starred in the historic drama “The Eagle” by Kevin MacDonald, romantic drama “Jane Eyre” by Cary Fukunaga, horror thriller “Retreat” by Carl Tibbetts as well as the adventure comedy “The Adventures of Tintin” by Steven Spielberg; the latter won a number of awards as well as grossing $374 million at the box office with a budget of $135 million. Then the actor starred in the thriller “Man on a Ledge” (2012), and science fiction film “Snowpiercer” in 2013, and later the same year created the role of DS/DI Ray Lennox in the film “Filth” (2013) based on Irvine Welsh’s novel of the same name, plus starring in the art film “Nymphomaniac” 2013. In 2015, Jamie was seen in the superhero film “Fantastic Four”, but which was a major commercial and critical failure. Recently, the actor created roles in the films “Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool” and “6 Days”.
Finally, in the personal life of the actor, he married actress Evan Rachel Wood in 2012, and they have a child together, but divorced in 2014. Bell has been married to actress Kate Mara, – his co-star in “Fantastic Four” – since 2017.

# | Quote |
---|---|
1 | I'm not delusional. I know I'm 5'7" with slightly jug ears. |
2 | I like being able to hide behind the characters I play. I like to be an elusive and anonymous actor. |
3 | [on filming The Adventures of Tintin (2011): The Secret of the Unicorn] There were times when I didn't think I could do another take, but it does help to know your way through the pain. I am not an old man by any means, but when you are in a [motion-capture] suit and helmet, it is not the most comfortable environment. |
4 | My biggest fear was that I would not be able to take the step from a child actor to an adult.I think it happened when I was able to play a soldier in Deathwatch (2002), set in the trenches of the first world war. The film didn't quite work out - it was a very good movie, almost - but I think that got me up and running as a grown-up actor. |
5 | I have grown in confidence. And I do like to think I know the difference between confidence and arrogance. |
6 | I can appreciate the spotlight and pressure Heath was under. There is a feeling that, however supportive your family is, you are very much on your own in this business. I cannot pretend to know what was going on in his life. I can imagine how he felt. The film business is wonderful and I love it. But the flip side is that the expectations are very big . . . don't get ill and don't get depressed. - On Heath Ledger and the pressures of working too much. |
7 | Learning my skill was more important than getting a big pay cheque or running away from big robots. |
8 | I think it would have ruined my life. Can you imagine going back to school on Tuesday after winning an Oscar? You'd be nuts. It's unsafe in this industry for a young person. You need to be protected and to keep good people around you - On missing out an Academy Award nomination for Billy Elliot (2000). |
9 | It makes no real difference because he was never there. Never having it (support from father), you don't really miss it. (My mother) raised me and my sister herself. That was incredibly difficult. |
10 | It's fortunate that I don't have to live with being Ballet Boy any more. After this I'll be called the nipple-circling dress-wearer or Rat Boy. - On his character Hallem Foe. |
11 | The young generation of actors are lazy. They don't do any work. They turn up, and say their lines. I would rather get better at what I do. |
12 | Inner demons? Got none of them. I had teen angst for a while, but I think every teenager has the angst. |
13 | I know people think that if you've had success young, you're going to blow it, but did you see "Batman" (The Dark Knight (2008)), did you see Christian Bale? He's so on top of his game. I've worked with a Culkin - Rory Culkin, he's a totally centered guy and he's something ridiculous, like 15. Whatever happened with Macaulay Culkin I don't know. The kid isn't messed up. Something happens to the kid to make them messed up. People are not born messed up. Things happen. People should be more sensitive. |
14 | I can understand why everyone sees me as Billy Elliot; it was the first thing I did, so I was determined to take the most diverse route possible. It wasn't to annoy people, but it seems to have upset so many people. |
15 | I think I became my own person dealing with my mother and sister. I never had a father figure so I never missed it. In fact, I thought it would be just another person to discipline me. |
16 | (why he picks roles based on directors) "I love looking down my résumé and seeing all those great people on it like David Gordon Green, and of course Peter Jackson and Stephen Daldry. When I look at it, I feel very proud for myself and the people around me who have managed to get me these roles." |
17 | (on Hollywood) "I go because that's where the work is, but I like, use and abuse. I fly in for the meetings, then fly out. That community is really small, so everybody knows each other. I kind of don't like that. It's not really a community I feel very welcome in." |
18 | [assured fans he won't suffer the same fate] "I wouldn't do a Macaulay. I have sensible people around me. I see this industry as a risky business. The money thing has always been in my control. I have always had people looking after it for me. I do love buying things - stupid gadgets. I'll say, 'I want one of them.' But I do the sensible thing, knuckle down, do some good work and keep a low profile." |
19 | I hate maths. I can't stand it. Circumferences of circles and stuff - it's horrible. |
20 | You probably won't see me dance in the movies again unless there's a 'Moulin Rouge 2' or 'Chicago Returns'. |
21 | I'm a hard-mouthed north-eastern lad. That's me - the Eminem of Northeast England. |
22 | "(Billy Elliot (2000)) got that (R-rating) because of the swearing. But it wouldn't be what it was without the swearing, kids need to swear". |
23 | Ballet is very hard. It takes a lot of practice to get to a certain standard. You have to know a lot about the steps because when you take examinations they'll ask you all about it. |
24 | (It's true that) most British movies are emotional and I agree that most American actors look manufactured. It's a shame. |
25 | [on winning awards, after he won the British Academy award] "It's just an award although it is a big one. It is no good getting too big-headed. I've been very busy and I'm very tired. I've been given advice, you know on speech-making and things like that. It's kind of weird that the other guys didn't win because they're such big guys." |
26 | [on why he continued pursuing ballet despite the mockery] - "The other boys called me 'poof', 'ballerina boy', "Get on your tutu, Jamie." It gave me more determination to prove it wasn't just for girls. It was for boys as well." |
