Who is Harry Trevaldwyn and how did he go from Instagram comedian to Netflix star?

Netflix's original film The Bubble features new talent Harry Trevaldwyn.

Despite being surrounded by a star-studded ensemble cast including Leslie Mann, Benedict Cumberbatch and Daisy Ridley, Harry still manages to shine in his scenes.

Playing Covid-19 officer Gunther, his character is tasked with ensuring the actors stay safe during production of a new film.

While he may have just made it to the big screen, he started off on the small screen. Very small, in fact.

Comedian Harry, 28, is known for his laugh-out-loug Instagram sketches, which includes a middle class mum on snow day with a distaste for her step daughter. Even James Corden is a fan.

His style is sarcastic humour – something Brits can't get enough of – and it eventually caught the eye of the movie's director, hotshot American filmmaker Judd Apatow.

When his fame began to rise, comedian Harry told OK!: “I made my first heavily filtered post in 2013 but my first comedy video was in the glorious summer of 2019.”

However the real traction started when Harry posted a Boris Johnson sketch.

"It was the first one to reach people other than my family and close friends – I think largely because everyone was looking for an excuse to laugh," he says.

"As I still have a humble following I have yet to receive a single message saying ‘where’s the new content?’ in all caps.

"Although Michelle Obama has never said so explicitly, I think she is a huge, huge fan of mine – so perhaps she could send that message."

Harry says his videos come to fruition through "a scenario or characteristic that I then turn into a character".

"It would be way more chic to have a process," say Harry. "But it’s usually me thinking of something and putting it into the notes section of my phone.

"I don’t think I would want to do social media full time – the dream is to write more long-form stuff and act."

Harry's dreams appear to be coming true as he's also been cast in the British version of French comedy drama Call my Agent!, which will be called Ten Percent.

Helena Bonham Carter and Dominic West will star as fictional versions of themselves in the sitcom set at a talent agency.

And his success with The Bubble will surely put him firmly at the top of many directors' lists.

Harry says he still remembers getting the call from Judd to tell him he'd got the gig.

“I had to specify: ‘I’m in the movie?’” he told GQ. “That evening I got progressively less sure if it had actually happened."

He says Judd asked him to improvise in front of a room full of established actors including Fred Armisen and Keegan-Michael Key.

Harry explains: "He said, ‘Uh, Harry, just say whatever the [COVID] symptoms are, but just, like, make them up.’

“Do you ever get that feeling where blood rushes, and you feel like you could faint?”

His creativity with the task made it into the final film, which is available to watch on Netflix now.
