Logan Lerman - biography and personal life

Biography of an aspiring actor

The birth of a young actor with a large filmography in California was long awaited by his parents; he was a welcome child and at the moment the only one in the family. His father is a successful businessman who provides for his family, and his mother, Lisa Goldman, works as a manager in a large company. In one of his interviews, he told a little about his relatives: “Many of my relatives do not understand how I got into cinema.

My aunts and uncles work in medicine, my dad is developing his business, and I, like the “black sheep,” got into acting.” But, despite the skeptical attitude of his loved ones towards his profession, he continues to do what he loves and expand his filmography.

Who could Logan Lerman become?

The life of the future actor began on January 19, 1992 in the city of Beverly Hills, which is located in the American state of California. Logan was born into a Jewish family, and among his ancestors there are immigrants from Poland and Russia. The boy’s father worked as an orthopedic doctor and developed his own business, and the future actor’s mother held the position of manager in a family company.

Currently, the actor’s family runs a successful prosthetic and orthopedic company, which was founded by Lerman’s great-grandfather. Logan could also connect his life with this business, but from early childhood the boy became interested in acting.

How it all began

From the age of 5, my parents read me a lot of books, works of famous writers, and also let me watch movies with meaning. When Logan went to school, he could already quote American classics, read poetry and had a good memory. Not only his parents, but also his teachers at school noticed his talent in time. Therefore, he began to actively participate in theatrical scenes at school, and they began to invite him to film commercials. His first debut in filmography took place in the film “The Patriot” in 1999, where Lerman played an excellent role as Mel Gibson .

Then Logan Lerman began actively acting in films where they just found a role for him or at the first offer. In the same legendary year of 2000, he starred for his filmography in the series “What Beautiful Women Want” together with the famous actor Gibson. In life, the actor is sure that he is truly lucky, because, in fact, he did not have to go out of his way to achieve something. He is grateful to his parents for investing in him the best grains of knowledge since childhood. Then Logan Lerman’s filmography began to develop rapidly, and out of nowhere, offers began pouring in with roles for which he was immediately attracted.

Movies that brought success to Logan

The birth of the young actor took place almost in 2000 thanks to his role in the film “A Strong Woman” where he played the young Adam Garcia - a supporting actor. Films with Logan Lerman are very interesting to the younger generation. After all, he is a vivid example of how a person not from show business could become famous and in demand in cinema.

Young Actor Awards

The filmography of the promising, talented actor is quite rich in good roles, so he received his first award for best role in 2003, called “Best Young Actor” . This pushes him even more to work and improve, and he begins to practice acting professionally. In 2006, he received the award “Best Motion Picture Actor” for his role in the film “The Cry of an Owl” from his filmography.

His acting career includes several roles in melodramas. One of them is based on the novel by Stephen Chboxy. After which the directors noticed that he was good at such roles and more films with Logan Lerman followed: “Stuck in Love”, “My One and Only”.

It is not so easy for a young actor to create new roles; directors, producers and screenwriters work on them. It has been said more than once that writing for Logan is not difficult, because he perfectly adapts to any role in his filmography. Films with the actor in the title role are constantly shown on cinema screens; they are loved by the audience.

Young Hollywood: Logan Lerman

Lately, every movie has been Logan Lerman. I was interested in this young actor and I dug into his biography and filmography. Logan Wade Lerman was born on January 19, 1992, in Beverly Hills, in the Jewish family of housewife Lisa and businessman Larry. Besides Logan, there are two more children in the family - Lucas and Lindsay, both older. Almost all of his relatives are connected with medicine. His family owns the company Lerman&Son, which produces prosthetics and orthopedic corsets. The company was founded by his great-grandfather in 1915, and in 1930 he left Europe due to the Nazi regime and settled in California. The company is now led by Logan's paternal grandparents. This is why he calls himself the “black sheep” of the family. According to Logan, he became interested in acting at the age of five, but not seriously, but “to have fun” and “get out of school.” By the way, he graduated from Beverly Hills High School in 2010 and even applied to New York University, but canceled his studies due to being busy with work. Logan's mother supported her son and became his manager. Like many “children of Hollywood,” Logan starred in commercials until he got a role in Roland Emmerich’s “The Patriot,” where he played the son of Mel Gibson’s hero. I must say that the guy had a good start. The film was nominated for an Oscar in three positions - Best Cinematography, Best Sound, Best Original Score, but, unfortunately, did not receive any. Logan is the boy on the left.

His next film work, again in the company of Mel Gibson, was a role in “What Women Want,” where he played little Nick Marshall, who is shown at the beginning of the film.
Then there was the film “Strong Woman,” released in 2001, and again the role of the main character’s son, played by Drew Barrymore. The next three years had no effect on Logan’s career; he played small roles in TV series and on TV, although his role in the film “House Painted” brought the boy an award from the Young Artist Awards for Best Performance. This was until the film “The Butterfly Effect” was released in 2004, where he played the main character at the age of seven. To play this role, the boy wore contact lenses to match the lead actor, Ashton Kutcher. It is noteworthy that the film was shot back in 2002, but was released only two years later. Also in 2004, the series “Jack and Bobby” started about the president’s memories of his childhood and brother. Logan played Bobby, that little future president. The series ran for one season and was closed in 2005. In 2006, the film “Owl Cry” was released about guys trying to save owls that are in danger of extinction. Logan is again in the leading role, but the film failed miserably at the box office, not even earning back the money invested in it. Although 2006 was not the most successful year for Logan, the next year made up for everything. In 2007, the guy had three premieres and two of them were highly praised by critics. First, there was the premiere of the film “The Fatal Number 23,” directed by Joel Schumacher. Logan had one of the main roles in the film. In August 2007, the premiere of the film “Train to Yuma” by James Mangold took place. The young actor was accompanied by such recognized actors as Russell Crowe and Christian Bale. The film was nominated for Oscars for Best Sound and Best Score. And already in September of the same year the film “Hello, Bill!” was released. - an independent drama that did not gain success with the public, but gave Logan the opportunity to work with Aaron Eckhart, Jessica Alba and Elizabeth Banks. In 2009, two films starring Logan Lerman were released. The first is “My One and Only,” a film that received a special award at the Berlinale from the Christian Society. The main role was played by Renee Zellweger, and Logan was her “son”. On September 3, 2009, the film “Gamer” was released from the creators of “Adrenaline 2”. The main role was played by Gerard Butler, and Logan was his “alter ego” in the film. This film also sat on the shelf for two years before it was released. The film had a positive impact on Logan's future career and he began to have his own fans. A T-shirt with the inscription Crank refers to the movie "Crank"
The next film made Logan a star and a new hero for teenagers.
The film "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" brought together a truly stellar cast - Uma Thurman, Pierce Brosnan, Sean Bean, Catherine Keener, Rosario Dawson and headed by Logan Lerman. The film is about a boy who finds out that his family originates from a Greek god. Accompanied by a satyr and his daughter Athena, he sets out on a dangerous journey to reconcile the gods. In general, Percy Jackson replaced Harry Potter. The film was nominated for an MTV award for Best Fight and Breakthrough of the Year, but, alas, it was left with nothing. But he brought popularity to the young and handsome actor. The last film starring Logan to be released was Poul Anderson's The Three Musketeers. An eternal classic by Dumas the Elder, which does not lose its relevance and interest of viewers, even after years and dozens of remakes. Lerman got the tasty role of D'Artagnan, a young man who has just left home, but has a big heart, principles and is ready to serve France. My personal impression of the film is very positive. I liked the actors, the characters were accurately conveyed, the fights were staged excellently, but a little “Hollywood-style”. I even dare to say that I liked Lerman’s D’Artagnan more than our Boyarsky, although I know that I will get more than one slipper in my direction. To at least somehow sweeten the pill, I’ll say that I was not very pleased with Aramis’ choice, here “our” Starygyn wins 100%. Now the guy is filming the film “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” with Emma Watson. Logan has three premieres scheduled for next year, including a sequel to Percy Jackson. Fun Facts

There are rumors that between 2006 and 2007 he dated Kurt Cobain's daughter Frances Bean, but they have not been officially confirmed. So far, Logan has never announced an official relationship and in all interviews he tries to emphasize this in every possible way. This is understandable, the guy is only 20 years old. We wish Logan creative success!

Moments from personal life

Little is known about the young actor’s personal life, compared to his filmography; he was previously noticed in a relationship with Frances Bean Cobain, then appeared at parties with singer Alexa Melo. But he himself declares: “My heart is free, or rather, I’m not in search, I’m working on my career, and don’t try to invent and attribute relationships to me.”

Perhaps this is true, because the number of roles in Logan Lerman’s filmography is a great success, which not every successful actor can boast of. But some do not calm down and continue to attribute to him a new romance with Daddario, so they became very good friends on the general shooting of the film “Percy Jackson”.
