Freddie Boath (born 6 May 1991) is an
English actor. He is known for his role as Alex O'Connell in
The Mummy Returns.
Boath was born in
London to a banker father and a producer mother. He has an older brother, Jack and a younger sister, Millie. Boath attended the
Catholic prep school St Phillip's (the same school singer
Mika attended). He has attended drama classes with his siblings for several years. His only acting experience prior to
The Mummy Returns was lip-syncing
John Travolta's role in a class production of
Grease.
Boath was big fan of
The Mummy and remembered every detail of it. He chose to audition for his role in
Mummy Returns over one in
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. On the set of
The Mummy Returns, when anyone wanted to know anything about the first film, they would ask him. Freddie was replaced for the role of Alex O'Connell for the third movie in The Mummy series by older Australian actor
Luke Ford.
