The actor with Irish nationality, Domhnall Gleeson was born on May 12, 1983 in Dublin, Ireland. His father was a famous actor Brendan Gleeson who played Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody in a fantasy film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. His mother Mary Gleeson was a housewife. Since he was a child, Domhnall Gleeson was inspired by his father. He was his role model and as it turned out, Domhnall continued the acting dynasty of his father.
He was not the only son in the family. His brother Brian Gleeson also became an actor, but he never achieved Domhnall’s success. The other his brothers were Fergus, and Rúairí. They decided not to follow their father’s path and so there is no information about their occupation.
Domhnall's first school was Malahide Community School. After graduation, he entered to Dublin Institute of Technology with major in Media Arts. Earned a bachelor’s degree, he immediately began his attempts to participate in the film industry. His father helped him a lot, and soon after Domhnall started his career they both appeared in the film Studs in 2006. The same year Domhnall Gleeson received his first nomination on Tony Award in the category Best Featured Actor in a Play. This nomination he deserved for his role in a theatre show The Lieutenant of Inishmore.
Next four years, Domhnall played in many movies and TV series, including A Dog Year (2009), Perrier's Bounty (2009), Corduroy (2009), Sensation (2010), Never Let Me Go (2010) and True Grit (2010). However those roles haven’t made him famous. He came into the prominence in 2010 after his breakthrough role of Bill Weasley in a fantasy film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1. And the next year he participated in the second part of this film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2. Both of the films gathered 1 billion dollars each and made Domhnall Gleeson a celebrity.
In 2010 Domhnall won Irish Film and Television Awards in the category Best Actor in a Lead Role in Television for his role in a TV film When Harvey Met Bob. After that, Domhnall became a real movie star. He received great roles one by one: Clan Techie in action film Dredd (2012), Konstantin Levin in a romance film Anna Karenina (2012), Russell Allen Phillips in an American drama Unbroken (2014), Caleb Smith in science fiction film Ex Machinaand of course his role of General Hux in Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015). He also announced that he will appear in Star Wars: Episode VIII with the same character.
Domhnall Gleeson hides his private life very well. However, there are some rumors on the internet, that his girlfriend might be an Irish producer Juliette Bonass. Domhnall confirmed that he and Juliette have been good friends for a long time and they worked together on some projects, including Immaturity for Charity, but the information about their close relationship still remains unproven.
