Henry and Oliver Morris from Meopham have starred with Idris Elba and Keith Lemon

Brothers Henry and Oliver Morris have their eyes set on stardom, after making several appearances on TV and radio.

The siblings, from Meopham, may be young but both boast impressive CVs, having starred alongside the likes of actor Idris Elba and comedian Keith Lemon.

In the latest achievement, younger brother Oliver, age seven, starred as ‘Little Roman’ – a young version of radio DJ Roman Kemp – as he interviewed ‘Little Big Sean’, a young version of US rapper Big Sean on a radio show.

He has also appeared in a host of TV commercials as well as The Russell Howard Show, while older brother Henry, 10, has starred as ‘mini Ed Sheeran’ on TV’s Celebrity Juice, and even given Idris Elba advice on how to treat a girl on a date, as part of competition to win a date with the actor in aid of the charity W.E. Can Lead.

He has also featured in a host of adverts, short films and pantomimes.

Mum Martine said their budding careers began when Henry went to Centre Stage Theatre Academy in Gravesend, before also joining Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts and signing up with London agency Alphabet Kidz.

But she said neither Henry or Oliver – who both go to Meopham Community Academy – had ever needed to be pushed into performing.

“Believe me I see enough parents at castings telling their children what to do,” she said.

“I’m not like that. These two are normal. They play football and rugby.

“Henry wants to win an Oscar but Oliver wants to be a footballer like every other little boy.

“If they fall out of love with it, they fall out of love with it, but if they do I’ll just encourage them to do what they want.”
