AFTER launching his modelling career at an early age, Bobby Brazier has made moves into acting too.
While Bobby has some famous parents, he’s risen to celebrity status in his own right and walked some big name fashion shows.
Who is Bobby Brazier?
Bobby was born on June 6, 2003 and has made a career for himself as a model and is now branching into acting.
The teen is the son of the late Jade Goody and her former partner Jeff Brazier.
Hailing from Essex, Bobby was only five when his mother passed away from cervical cancer.
His parents split before her passing and Bobby recently reconnected with Jack Tweed, Jade’s partner at the time.
Bobby plays Freddie Slater on EastEnders
Bobby has built an impressive Instagram feed with 108,000 followers – you can follow him @bobbybrazier.
He is dating makeup influencer Liberty Love, who is the daughter of DJ Don Letts.
What modelling has Bobby Brazier done?
Bobby began his modelling career in 2019 and has since been in demand.
He made his mark on the fashion world after walking for Dolce & Gabbana at Milan Fashion Week.
Then in early 2020 Bobby walked the red carpet at the prestigious Tommy Hilfiger event at London Fashion Week.
The teen previously revealed that he stumbled into the industry by chance after getting into trouble at school.
In an Instagram Q&A, he explained that he had a meeting at school after acting up, adding: “So before I go, I go Costa for a little prep talk with my dad and then when we leave @cesarpin is chasing me down the street asking me if I’m a model.”
Cesar Perin is the model scout who signed Bobby to agency Unsigned Group.
It is unknown if Bobby will continue to model while on EastEnders.
When is Bobby on Eastenders?
Bobby will make his EastEnders debut this autumn.
He will be playing Freddie Slater, a mischievous member of the square’s long-standing Slater family.
The model is to play returning character Freddie Slater, the son of Maureen “Little Mo” Slater.
Bobby said: “I’m really excited to be joining the cast of EastEnders – so far it’s been perfect.
“Everybody has been so beautiful to me and made settling in easier than I could’ve hoped.
“Stepping into the acting world has always been a vision of mine and doing that with EastEnders as a Slater is a blessing, I’m very grateful.
“Loving every minute of Freddie so far and can’t wait to see what’s in store for him in Walford.”
What has Bobby Brazier said about his mum Jade Goody?
Bobby’s famous mum Jade sadly passed away aged 27 in 2009 when he was just five-years-old.
She rose to fame on Big Brother and became a household name but tragically died of cervical cancer.
On June 5, 2020 Bobby paid a sweet tribute to his mum, on what would have been her 39th birthday.
In the photo, Jade is smiling widely at the camera, dripping in diamonds and matching tiara, all while wearing a baby pink strapless satin dress and eating chips from paper packaging.
Bobby wrote that his mum “always kept it 100” and that “legends never die”.
Does Bobby have any siblings?
Bobby also has a younger brother called Freddie.
Freddie is just a year younger than Bobby and the pair are often seen posting photos together.
He was born in September 2004, so was only four when his mum passed away.
Freddie also works as a fashion model for Unsigned.
