Samuel George Claflin, known as Sam Claflin, is an English actor born on June 27, 1986, in Ipswich, Suffolk, England. After graduating from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art in 2009, he began his acting career on television. His first film role was as Philip Swift in "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" (2011).
Claflin gained wider recognition for playing Finnick Odair in "The Hunger Games" film series (2013–2015) and for his starring role in the romantic film "Me Before You" (2016). He has since starred in the films "Adrift" (2018) and "The Nightingale" (2018), and portrayed Oswald Mosley in the television series "Peaky Blinders" (2019–2022), Mycroft Holmes in the mystery film "Enola Holmes" (2020), and singer Billy Dunne in the musical drama series "Daisy Jones & the Six" (2023). The last of these earned him a nomination for a Golden Globe Award.
Claflin was born to Mark, a finance officer, and Sue Claflin (née Clarke), a teaching assistant. He has two older brothers, Benjamin and Daniel, and a younger brother, Joseph (born 1989), who is also an actor. He grew up in Norwich, Norfolk. As a child, he had an interest in football. He played throughout his childhood until he broke his ankle, an injury that he felt would prevent him from playing professionally. After some persuasion from his parents and a teacher upon whom he had made an impression during his high school play at Costessey High School, he pursued acting.
In 2013, Claflin married actress Laura Haddock. The couple has two children but separated in 2019.
