Success in the entertainment industry can take years, even decades, to achieve. However, Conrad Khan has managed to make a name for himself in a relatively short period. Still in his early 20s, Conrad’s on-screen debut as a child showcased his potential as a star. He is best known for his roles in The Huntsman: Winter’s War and County Lines. In 2021, he returned to the small screen with a role in Baptiste. Conrad’s authenticity and versatility captivate audiences, and he consistently delivers outstanding performances. Here are 10 things you didn’t know about Conrad Khan.
1. London Roots
Born and raised in London, Conrad appears to still reside there and hasn’t expressed any interest in moving. He comes from a close-knit family, with a mother who teaches fashion history and a father who works in health policy. Both of Conrad’s parents have always supported his acting aspirations.
2. BAFTA Nomination
A BAFTA nomination in the UK is akin to an Academy Award nomination in the United States. Conrad told Harper’s BAZAAR, “To be nominated for a BAFTA is a lifetime achievement, and for it to come at such a young age, personally it’s really humbling. But at the same time, it gives me energy. It’s the reason I get up every day. And just to be talked about among some of the past nominees… I mean, just looking at that list, it amazes me every time. I’m still coming to terms with it. I’m still pinching myself.”
3. A Passion for Travel
Conrad loves new experiences, and traveling is one of the best ways to immerse oneself in different cultures. His career has allowed him to visit various places, and there are likely many more destinations on his bucket list.
4. Standing Out in County Lines
The casting process can be chaotic, and it’s often difficult for actors to stand out among hundreds of others vying for the same role. Conrad managed to do just that, being chosen out of 300 people who auditioned for the role of Tyler in County Lines.
5. Art Enthusiast
As a creative individual, it’s no surprise that Conrad is drawn to artistic pursuits. A quick scroll through his Instagram profile reveals his love for various forms of art, from photography to painting. However, there’s no information to suggest that he’s an artist himself.
6. Calm and Collected
Getting into character can be challenging for actors, especially when they don’t share many traits with the character they’re portraying. Conrad faced this challenge when playing Tyler. He told Independent, “I’m not a very angry person. I don’t think I’ve ever shouted at anyone in my life. So to get into that kind of headspace and not just be angry, but be violent, and not just to anybody, but to the maternal, loving figure in your life – that was challenging.”
7. Aspiring Filmmaker
While Conrad is currently focused on acting, he has plans to explore other aspects of the industry. He studied screenwriting and directing and hopes to eventually work behind the scenes, telling stories from a different perspective.
8. Signed with a Management Agency
Working with an agency can help actors gain exposure and access more opportunities. Conrad is currently signed to Curtis Brown, an agency with a long history of representing talented stars from various areas of the entertainment industry.
9. Not a Social Media Fan
Despite his youth and fame, Conrad doesn’t seem interested in the hype surrounding social media. Although he has an Instagram account, he posts infrequently. Many of his photos don’t even feature him, reflecting his private nature.
10. Discreet About His Acting Career
Unlike many actors who eagerly discuss their careers and projects, Conrad is more reserved. In an interview with NME, he said, “If someone doesn’t ask me about it, I don’t really have reason to tell them. My career is not something I advertise.”
