Meet Jonny Owen: From the Valleys to Stardom 🌟
Born in Merthyr Tydfil, Jonny Owen refused to ditch his Valleys accent despite industry pressure, proving you can stay true to your roots and make it big. 🎬✨ He shares a cosy London home with wife Vicky McClure, the TV sensation known for roles in Line of Duty and Trigger Point.
Jonny’s career is as varied as it is impressive. From electrifying roles in Shameless and My Family to his current gig at Talksport, Jonny never slows down. He’s also launched a production company with Vicky, sharing their creativity with the world.
A passionate football fan, Jonny has spent years on the Nottingham Forest board, rubbing shoulders with the likes of billionaire owner Evangelos Marinakis. His love for the beautiful game also ties him to his roots, as he’s a lifelong supporter of Merthyr Town FC. ⚽️🍻 One of his cherished memories is attending a historic game with his family.
Jonny’s project with Ogi, celebrating the everyday legends of Wales, is a testament to his love for storytelling and his heritage. He’s even donated his fee from this venture to his beloved Merthyr Town FC.
When he’s not busy crafting new projects, the couple hosts “Day Fever,” a day-time clubbing event that’s taken London, Nottingham, Cardiff, and Merthyr by storm. 🎉
Despite all the success, Merthyr is never far from Jonny’s heart, and he cherishes the community that shaped him. Life in the Valleys, with family just a doorstep away, gave him unforgettable warmth and love.
Together, Jonny and Vicky make a dynamic duo, balancing their thriving careers while cherishing their time together. Vicky might be one of the UK’s most recognised actors, but for Jonny, she’s his partner in adventure and life.
