His debut album, Holding Patterns, was released in February 2016.

Early life and education

Laurence Fox was born in 1978 in Leeds, the third of the five children of James Fox and Mary Elizabeth Piper. His father, James, was the son of Robin Fox, a theatrical agent, who married Angela Muriel Darita Worthington, daughter of the playwright Frederick Lonsdale. Fox's siblings are Tom (born 1975), Robin (born 1976), Lydia (born 1979), and Jack (born 1985); Lydia and Jack are actors. Lydia Fox is married to actor Richard Ayoade. His uncles are the actor Edward Fox and the theatrical and film producer Robert Fox. The actors Emilia and Freddie Fox are his first cousins, being the children of Edward Fox.

At the age of 13, he was enrolled at Harrow School and was expelled a few weeks before his A-levels. He was unable to obtain a place at any university, due to a report about him from Harrow. After working as a gardener and as an office worker, he discovered that he preferred acting and enrolled at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA). During his time there, he appeared in numerous theatre productions, including the lead roles of Gregers Werle in Ibsen's The Wild Duck, Marcus Andronicus in Titus Andronicus, and Stephen Daedalus in an adaptation of James Joyce's novel Ulysses. His first break into film was the horror-thriller The Hole (2001).

Personal life

Fox and actress Billie Piper started dating in 2006 while performing together in the stage play Treats, and were married on 31 December 2007. They have two sons, born in 2008 and 2012. In March 2016, Piper announced the couple had separated. On 12 May 2016, Fox and Piper were divorced.

Laurence Fox Career

Acting career

Fox, who graduated from RADA on 1 July 2001, followed up The Hole by appearing in Robert Altman's film Gosford Park (2001). He then donned uniforms in a slew of film and television features, including roles as a German airman in Island at War (2004), an SS officer in The Last Drop (2005), and as British soldiers in the 2002 films Deathwatch and Ultimate Force, and in Colditz (2005). In the last made-for-television film, Fox played Capt. Tom Willis who, after an unsuccessful attempt to break out of a prisoner-of-war camp, is brought to Oflag IV-C in Colditz Castle, one of the most infamous German POW camps for officers in World War II. Actor Kevin Whately caught Fox's performance in the last ten minutes of the film. The next day, at a meeting regarding a new project, Whately mentioned that Fox "would be worth taking a look at".

As a result, Fox was cast in the ITV detective drama Lewis as Detective Sergeant James Hathaway, who becomes the partner of Detective Inspector Robert Lewis, played by Whately. The pilot of this spin-off from Inspector Morse (1987–2000) was ITV's highest rated drama of 2006.

Fox has also portrayed Prince Charles, in Whatever Love Means (2005); Wisley, one of Jane Austen's suitors, in Becoming Jane (2007); and Sir Christopher Hatton, the Lord Chancellor of England in Elizabeth: The Golden Age, also released in 2007. In addition, in that year Fox was seen on ITV as Cecil Vyse in Andrew Davies's adaptation of A Room with a View based on E.M. Forster's 1908 novel.

On stage, Fox appeared in Mrs. Warren's Profession by George Bernard Shaw at the Strand Theatre (now the Novello Theatre) in London in 2002, and John Ford's 17th-century play 'Tis Pity She's a Whore in 2005. Between 2006 and 2007 he starred in Treats by Christopher Hampton with his future wife, Billie Piper. In April 2007, Fox received a police caution after he was arrested for assault when he punched a photographer outside the Garrick Theatre in London where he was performing in Treats. The caution remained on his record for three years. In 2013, Fox played Guy Haines in Strangers on a Train at London's Gielgud Theatre. On 9 May 2015, he read a letter written by a soldier three days prior to his death in the Second World War, as part of VE Day 70: A Party to Remember, an anniversary concert for VE Day.

Fox released his debut album Holding Patterns in 2016 through his own label Fox Cub Records. His second album A Grief Observed was released in 2019. Holding Patterns peaked at number 89 in the UK album chart.

In 2018, Fox joined the cast of the ITV series Victoria, playing Lord Palmerston, for its third season, which first aired on PBS in January 2019.

In November 2020, Fox was dropped by his talent agency Artists Rights Group after claiming on Question Time that an audience member's description of him as a "white privileged male" was "racist". He had been dropped by his previous managers Authentic Talent in March of the same year.

In 2021, Fox was hired to star as Hunter Biden in a Robert Davi directed biopic titled My Son Hunter along with Gina Carano and John James.

How Elon Musk's X placed adverts promoting the Olympics and the British Medical Association next to posts by right-wing activists including Andrew Tate and Laurence Fox

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 19, 2024
Companies using X to advertise face having their posts appear alongside anti-Muslim hate and far-right misinformation, according to a new report. The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) said brands including GlaxoSmithKline and Betfred as well as organisations like the BMA and IOC recently had ads appear next to activists 'pushing lies and hate in the wake of the Southport attack'.

A fundamentalist preacher set on creating an Islamic state off Scotland - and the Catholic cleric who's fighting to stop him. Welcome to the £1.5m battle for...Holy Island

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 9, 2024
It may have been the estate agent's blurb that started it, ­gushing enthusiastically about a rare opportunity to buy 'an idyllic island with complete tranquillity'. But given that Torsa - a largely uninhabited dot in the Inner Hebrides - was named after the Norse god of thunder, perhaps it was ­inevitable that plans to sell it would run into a storm. Boasting castle ruins, a three-bedroom farmhouse converted into a holiday home and two miles of pristine coastline, the £1.5million price tag was meant to attract the kind of wealthy clients keen to escape from the ­pressures of the world.

RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: Poisonous diatribes by Tommy Robinson and Laurence Fox play into the hands of their opponents on the Left

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 6, 2024
Hundreds of thousands of protesters on the streets, more than 300 dead, including 14 police officers, the Prime Minister fleeing the country. Now that's what I call a riot. Not here, obviously, but in Bangladesh where widespread civil disobedience has led to the military forming an interim government. I mention this not in any way to diminish the disgraceful disorder on our own streets over the past week.
