“Adolescence” star Owen Cooper makes demand to Liverpool boss Arne Slot after winning acting award

Fresh from winning a prestigious acting award for his breakout role in the hit Netflix miniseries “Adolescence”, teenage actor Owen Cooper has used his moment in the spotlight to send a light-hearted but pointed message to Liverpool manager Arne Slot. Still riding the high of his latest accolade, Cooper – a well-known Liverpool supporter – took the opportunity to blend his rapidly rising Hollywood profile with his football loyalties.

Cooper, who has become one of the most talked‑about young actors in Britain after his acclaimed performance as troubled teen Jamie Miller, was speaking backstage after the ceremony when the conversation turned to football and his beloved Reds. Buoyed by his success and clearly enjoying the attention, he issued a playful “demand” to Slot: he wants a chance to be involved with Liverpool in some capacity, whether that be visiting the training ground, meeting the squad at Anfield, or even taking part in some form of behind‑the‑scenes content.

The young star joked that if he can handle the intensity of a dark crime drama watched by millions around the world, he can certainly cope with the pressure of stepping into Liverpool’s inner sanctum. He suggested that Slot and the players could do with a bit of acting coaching for their goal celebrations, while hinting that he would not say no to pulling on the famous red shirt in a charity game or promotional piece.

Cooper’s comments underline how quickly his fame has grown and how closely he remains tied to his roots and his footballing passion, despite his success on screen. His public “appeal” to Slot has delighted Liverpool fans on social media, many of whom have called on the club to make the youngster’s wish a reality and to bring one of the game’s most high‑profile new supporters closer to the team he loves.
