Guy Remmers, who plays Duke Theo in the most-watched period drama, is the heartthrob to know right now. Hailing from Bristol, the actor stands out as a compelling presence. Through his love for theatre and a career in modelling, Remmers is now aiming for the stars as he makes his acting debut as one of the leading male leads on Apple TV+’s “The Buccaneers”. With season two currently airing on your screens, we’ve decided to gather a few fun facts about the talented star who’s all set to melt your heart once more.
He’s a Gemini
Born in 1995, the talented actor was actually born on 2 June.
He was born and raised in Bristol
While he may have spent his time in Bristol, his parents — a New Zealander father and a Welsh mother — encouraged him to embrace both cultures. In an interview with 1883 Magazine, Remmers stated, “My dad taught me the Māori national anthem when I was younger, and whenever I sing it, I get really emotional, I don’t know why.”
He kickstarted his journey in theatre before dabbling in modelling
Landing the role of Kol in the play “The Grandfathers” at 17 years old, the actor was scouted by an agent, which drove him to pursue a modelling career in between.
The play premiered at the Bristol Old Vic and was then transferred to the National Theatre in London. In fact, his favourite plays of all time were “Mojo” starring Ben Whishaw, Daniel Mays and Rupert Grint.
His passion for acting began in secondary school
The actor has openly discussed his dyslexia, which made navigating school academically challenging for him. However, his passion grew after participating in school projects and plays. From there, he joined after-school drama groups before enrolling on performing arts courses.
He’s a massive fan of Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction.
In several interviews, the actor has shared that watching “Pulp Fiction” inspired him to pursue a career in acting. He found motivation in the characters, captivated by their emotions, vibrant personalities, and humour.
He has a huge fascination with the fashion world
While acting was his first love, Guy Remmers’ modelling career introduced him to the world of high fashion, a world he has come to adore. In fact, he has graced Jimmy Choo’s campaigns and recently walked Burberry’s Fall/Winter 2025 runway. He was also recently spotted seated in the front row for JW Anderson, Burberry, and YSL.
