Latest News about Sam Claflin
Sam Claflin attended the premiere of Ebenezer, in which he plays Fred, the nephew of Ebenezer Scrooge, alongside Johnny Depp, Daisy Ridley and Ian McKellen. He appeared with his girlfriend, Israeli actress Dar Zuzovsky, whom he met on the set of Vanished, and the couple have discussed starting a family.
In an interview with Bustle, Claflin disclosed that he took a nine-month break from acting in 2025 to focus on his mental health after reaching a low point. He said he had spent years trying to please others and had lost sight of what made him happy.
Claflin revealed on Fearne Cotton's Happy Place podcast that his body dysmorphia was worsened by Hollywood roles that often required him to appear shirtless. He said such demands, including on The Hunger Games and Pirates of the Caribbean, had strongly affected him.
