Life

Matheson was born in a trailer , the elder of two sons . Shortly thereafter, the Stornoway family moved to Canterbury ; nevertheless Matheson spent many summers in Scotland with his grandparents.

First he was in smaller stage productions at the Royal Court Theater before he made his film debut in an episode of the television series The Bill in 1995 - Matheson was 20 years old . However, he did not achieve his breakthrough until 1998 as Marius in Bille August's drama Les Misérables . He became better known internationally through blockbusters like Sherlock Holmes and Clash of the Titans , in which he shot for the second time with Gemma Arterton . Both met before filming Tess von den d'Urbervilles .
