Young achiever
Cooper's historic Golden Globe win and upcoming projects
Cooper, the 16-year-old star of Adolescence, made history by becoming the youngest-ever winner in the male actor in a supporting role on television category at the Golden Globes. His win breaks Chris Colfer's record; he was 20 when he won for Glee in 2010. Cooper will soon be seen as a younger Heathcliff in Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Wuthering Heights.
