Early life

Jonathan Nolan was born in London and was the youngest of three boys. Brendan Nolan is a British citizen, and Christina Nolan is an American. He was born in both London and Chicago. Nolan majored in English at Georgetown University and worked as a staff writer for The Hoya.

Personal life

After going to Chicago, Nolan discovered that having an English accent was extremely unpopular, so he learned to "sound like a good Chicago kid."

Nolan expressed surprise as he considered the artistic differences between himself and his brother, saying, "I've always suspected that it has to do with the fact that he's left-handed and I'm right-handed," he said because he's somehow able to look at my thoughts and turn them around in a way that is a bit more twisted and interesting." It's awesome to work with him in this way.

Nolan is married to Burn Notice writer and Westworld co-creator and executive producer Lisa Joy. They have a daughter and a son together.
