Did you know?!

  1. A role that slipped away

    Reid's role as John Davinier in the period drama Belle (2013) put him opposite Gugu Mbatha-Raw's Belle. Sam Claflin had left the project over scheduling conflicts, so Reid came aboard relatively late in pre-production.

  2. Early training

    Reid trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art after moving to London, graduating in 2010 as the star student of his year.

  3. Beyond film

    In 2026, Reid released singles for the third season, including "Long Face" and a Billy Idol cover, credited as The Vampire Lestat. On 2 June 2026, he gave a one-night concert as that character at New York City's Beacon Theatre.
