If Cool Britannia really is back, as Tatler has declared, then no man is better positioned to represent the Brit-culture renaissance than Corey Mylchreest. This month, the 27-year-old London native is starring in the new romance film My Oxford Year, as well as in Hostage, the political thriller starring Julie Delpy, both streaming on Netflix.

Mylchreest made his television debut in the 2022 DC Comics vehicle The Sandman. And it’s no coincidence he landed the part of Adonis—he is, admittedly, rather good-looking. The following year, he took on the lead role of the young King George III in Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, Shonda Rhimes’s highly anticipated Bridgerton prequel.
