Despite being only 12 years old, Ed Oxenbould has already starred in two big budget films alongside major Hollywood stars.

His first sees the Australian born actor star opposite Steve Carrell and Jennifer Garner in Disney's adaptation of Judith Viorst's beloved children's book Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, in which he plays the title role. Due for release October 2014, the film looks set to propel Oxenbould into the global spotlight and his next project is expected to cement that success – he's currently shooting comedy Paper Planes in his native country alongside Avatar star Sam Worthington (release date tba).
