There’s a lot to know about this Australian actor, and his name is sure to be on the top of everyone’s hot lists in the next few months and possibly years. He broke out in Australia with major roles on TV’s SLiDE as Luke Gallagher and Home and Away as Stu Henderson. While enjoying major success over there, Brenton is poised to have a huge year over here with his first cross-pond breakout role in Maleficent. The Giver, Son of a Gun and Ride are next up and sure to help maintain the hot streak he’s on. Brenton’s celebrity crush is Jennifer Lawrence and we think they’d make a pretty cute couple if she and Nicholas Hoult ever break up. We love that Brenton, while being successful, is still a fan of creatives. He’s said that he loves Eric Clapton and John Mayer as well as Australian performer Xavier Rudd, who we’ve had on repeat since hearing about him from Brenton. While working with Meryl Streep, Angelina Jolie and Jeff Bridges on your first major film roles may be a setting the bar a little high out the gate, we’re expecting to see awesome things from Brenton for years to come.
