How Old is Amir Wilson?

On February 6, 2004, Amir Wilson (age 18) took birth in Shrewsbury, United Kingdom. According to one of his interviews with Boys By Girls, his mother, Nagla, is Sudanese, and his father, Paul, is of English origin. The young actor grew up in Monkmoor alongside his elder sister, Iman, and attended St. Giles’ C of E Primary School.

Amir was never passionate about acting until a teaching assistant in his school came to his classroom and asked if any of the kids wanted to play the role of munchkins in a local theatre production of “Wizard of Oz.”

He took a leaflet from the teacher and gave it to her sister; later that week, he and his sister went for the audition, and the directors at the theatre told him to give it a go. Following the audition, Wilson realized how lovely the art of acting is, and the showrunners picked him for their play.

Amir Wilson’s Acting Career

Two years after working at a theatre in Shrewsbury, he came to London at 10 for “The Lion King.” At first, he lived with his sister but later moved in with his dad, who passed away in 2018. After his father’s death, he was heartbroken but stayed focused on his mission to become an excellent actor.

At 14, he landed the opportunity to debut in the film industry by playing a minor role in “The Kid Who Would Be King,” which came out in 2019. Later that year, he appeared playing Will Parry in “His Dark Materials,” and his career took off.

A little after working on an HBO show, the part of Tiuri in “The Letter for the King” and his performance in the show was so good that he received a nomination for Daytime Emmy Award. After establishing himself as a successful TV actor, Wilson did two back-to-back blockbuster films, “The Secret Garden” and “The Magic Flute.”
