In an interview with <em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>, Cooper admitted that he hasn\u2019t watched the show and likely never will. \u201cI just don\u2019t like watching myself,\u201d he explained. The idea of the series being screened in schools, as some UK educators are planning to do to highlight the impact of the internet on young people, is particularly unsettling for him. \u201cThat\u2019s my worst nightmare,\u201d he jokingly added.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his standout performance in the show, which has sparked conversations in classrooms and on social media, Cooper expressed that the subject matter is deeply personal and intense for someone his age. The miniseries, created by Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham, addresses the dangers of digital spaces, particularly the online influences that affect young boys, leading to severe consequences. Cooper, who was unfamiliar with some of the darker aspects of online culture before working on the series, admitted that he didn\u2019t fully grasp the meanings behind certain online behaviors like emojis. He also mentioned that, while he didn\u2019t know much about these issues, they are clearly affecting many young people today.<\/p>\n<p><em>Adolescence<\/em>, which debuted on Netflix on March 13, has received praise for its gripping storytelling and innovative filming technique. Each episode is shot in one continuous take, adding to the realism and intensity of the story. Stephen Graham, who co-created the show, also stars as Jamie\u2019s father, Eddie Miller. While there\u2019s been speculation about a possible second part to the series, there has been no official confirmation from Netflix or the creators.<\/p>\n<p>For Cooper, the experience of working on the show was eye-opening, helping him understand how pervasive these online issues are, even if they aren\u2019t always discussed openly. However, despite the success of <em>Adolescence<\/em>, the young actor seems content to avoid reliving the experience through his own performance on screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Owen Cooper, the 13-year-old star of Netflix\u2019s Adolescence, recently opened up about his reluctance to watch the series in which\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":69252,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[24910],"class_list":["post-69251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-owen-cooper"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69251"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69251\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69252"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69251"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69251"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
