Early life
Maslen was born in Woolwich, London, England on 25 June 1971. As a young boy Maslen admired the Royal Marines and attended Bromley Marines Cadets on a Monday and a Thursday at T.S. Narvik in Bromley Common. He was brought up in Woolwich and signed up to join the Royal Marines with his school friends, Marcus Marnham and Simon Farnham at the age of 16. He later sustained an injury whilst doing the PRMC (Potential Royal Marines Course), resulting in him not gaining entry to the Recruit training course. He has been a vegetarian since the age of 18; he discussed this on appearances on both The Paul O'Grady Show and Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.
Personal life
He is married to Estelle Maslen (née Rubio), who is the mother of his son Zak Alexander Maslen (born 25 January 2001). The couple were together for nine years before they were married on 6 September 2008. Several of Maslen's co-stars were in attendance at his wedding, including: Samantha Womack, Rita Simons, Charlie Clements, Jo Joyner, Steve McFadden, Barbara Windsor, Patsy Palmer, Diane Parish and Perry Fenwick.
He is best friends with his EastEnders co-star Samantha Womack, whom he has known since they were teenagers, and her former husband Mark Womack. He is also godfather to their two children, Lily-Rose and Benjamin Womack. Benjamin is also best friends with Maslen's son Zak.
Maslen is a keen carp fisherman, and has been involved in many charity events.
Career
He went to Miami and was photographed by photographer Bruce Weber at the age of 18. He began his career as an international model as a result of this encounter. He returned to acting five years later. He gained his first role in the popular television series Lock, Stock... in 2000 after completing studies at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. In DMA Design's promotional video and opening sequence for Grand Theft Auto 2, he has also appeared in the live action version of Claude Speed. He landed his first appearance in The Bill in 2002 after doing little more television and film roles.
Maslen will leave The Bill and join the cast of EastEnders as regular character Jack Branning on July 13, 2007. Ronnie Mitchell, played by best friend Samantha Womack, was his love interest. Both actors expressed disappointment with love scenes because they have known each other for the majority of their lives and are like brother and sister. Maslen left EastEnders on October 15, 2013.
Maslen appeared in the pantomime Aladdin at the Pavilion Theatre, Bournemouth, during the Christmas/New Year period of 2013/2014. During the Christmas/New Year season 2014-2015, he appeared in the same pantomime at the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury. Over Christmas/New Year 2015/2016, he performed it again at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley.
He competed in Celebrity Masterchef in 2015, but unfortunately lost in the final and assumed the role of an MP named James Holloway in the American drama series The Royals.
Maslen admitted that he had turned down the chance to return to EastEnders in April 2015, saying, "I didn't want to go back just 18 months after leaving." So soaps have a certain sense of snobbery. People in the field don't see you as an actor; they see you as a commodity." However, he announced that he would return to the show on December 24th, 2015, shortly announcing that it would be permanent. "It was like I hadn't left," Maslen said. It's a little strange because there are new characters I don't know – but it fits with the story.
