Johnny Flynn's Wife: The Actor Fell in Love with Beatrice Minns as a Teen
Johnny Flynn is a multi-talented Englishman who has had great success in front of the camera and off it. Among his multiple facets are poetry, music, and acting. His acting made him more famous after appearing in the 2020 film, "Emma."
The film, in which he also provided one of the soundtracks, is a period romantic comedy adapted from an 1815 novel by Jane Austen. Johnny plays the character of Mr. Knightley, falls in love, and eventually marries the titular character, Emma, after a series of shortfalls.
The movie became a fan favorite and resulted in an increase in popularity for Johnny. Many became curious about the personal life of the actor, who is married and shares three kids with his beautiful wife, Beatrice Minns. Meanwhile, he is not the only talented member of his clan, as his family also boasts several actors.
Johnny Flynn Fell in Love with His Future Wife When He Was Just a Teenager
Johnny's love life has been one of the least complex many people will ever know. The actor met and fell in love with his future wife while they were still in high school.
Johnny and Minns were both attending the Bedales school and were in their final year. Speaking on the lasting occasion, Johnny recalled:
"I was very shy as a teenager but completely in love with her. There was just something about her that I felt a real connection to."
Their young love experienced its ups and downs. The couple was in an on-and-off relationship after going through breakups while they were still teenagers and later in their 20s. Despite that, they have continued their love story, which Johnny feels was destined to happen.
At one time, he even followed Minns, interested in theater productions, out to New York City. Currently, the couple and their family reside in East London, where Minns has a garden studio in which she works with clay. She previously worked as a set designer for more than ten years.
Johnny Flynn Raises Three Adorable Kids with His Wife, Beatrice Minns
Johnny and Minns tied the knot in 2011. Their marriage of over a decade has welcomed three children, a son, Gabriel, and two daughters, Ida and Lorca. Their exact ages are unknown to the public, but Gabriel appears to be the oldest.
Although not a very active social media user, Johnny does not miss many chances to post his adorable bunch. The father of three shares cute photos of his children along with some loving and funny captions, including one showing his two girls smiling. He wrote:
"These girls. I'll be thinking of them to stop me from poo-ing myself when I go on Lauren Laverne's breakfast show tomorrow am on BBC6music."
Johnny Flynn's Half-Brother Is "Game of Thrones" Star Jerome Flynn
Johnny comes from a talented family that has several actors, starting with his father, Eric, who was an actor in musical theater. His siblings are also actors. Although they followed in their father's footsteps, Eric was not keen on seeing his children follow that path.
Still, as evidenced by Johnny, they have become successful in that career. The other siblings have also had success in the industry to varying degrees.
Sister Lillie Flynn has been involved in various productions, including as an actress in "The Score" and as part of the ADR group in "The Sea Beast," starring Karl Urban and Jared Harris.
Half-brother Daniel has been in the television industry for about forty years since making four appearances as Billy in "No Excuses" in 1983. Since then, the Worcestershire-born actor has appeared in over fifty productions ranging from short movies and feature films to television series and voicing video games.
Perhaps the most popular of Johnny's siblings is BAFTA-nominated Jerome, whose role as Bronn in the hit television series "Game Of Thrones" garnered him notoriety among the show's fans worldwide. His controversial character and gradual increase in fortune made him a divisive figure in the series in which he appeared in many seasons.
