Kadiff Kirwan (born 3 February 1989[1][2]) is a British-Montserratian actor.[3][4] He is known for his roles in several British television series, particularly Timewasters, Chewing Gum, Fleabag,[5] and The Stranger.[6]

Early life and education

Born and raised in Plymouth, Montserrat,[3] Kirwan moved with his family to Antigua after the 1995 Soufrière Hills volcanic eruption destroyed the family home, and thereafter to Preston, England. There he developed a love of drama; he first acted in school, in a production of Bugsy Malone, when he was 14.[4] On his desire to act, Kirwan said "I was bad at school [...] really bad. And I had a drama teacher who from Year 9 onwards hounded me and told me that my behaviour issues would calm down if I went to drama classes after school. She kept pestering and eventually I went. Suddenly, everything started making sense: I was acting out because I was dealing with being gay and not telling my peers or my family because they’re quite religious [...] I was going through a lot at the time, and acting was the thing that saved me. It gave me my voice."

He graduated from the Central School of Speech and Drama in 2011.[7]

Personal life

Kirwan is openly gay.[8]
