He spent his first years in Clondalkin, then moved to Walkinstown with his family. He went to St Mac Dara’s Community College in Templeogue, but school was never in his focus and he often finished with poor results. He transferred from there to Firehouse Community College and after finishing helped his dad as an apprentice electrician, but once he came across a notice posted by the Gaiety School of Acting he sent in his application and was accepted, so finished his studies successfully in 2004.
Aidan started his acting career by auditioning for roles in plays, and made his debut on stage in “The Plough and the Stars” in 2005, at the Barbican Theatre in London, England. He then returned to Ireland and until 2008 honed his skills by appearing in plays held in various Dublin theaters. Some of his most successful roles include as Demetrius in the play “Titus Andronicus”, then as Pan in “The Crock of Gold”, and Christina in “Cyrano”, among others, all of which increased his net worth.
Aidan made his screen debut in a one-off appearance in the historical romantic drama series “The Tudors” in 2007, while in 2008 he starred in the thriller film “Alarm”, alongside Ruth Bradley and Owen Roe. The same year he started portraying Ruairí McGowan in the TV drama series “The Clinic”, and through the next year appeared in 18 episodes of the acclaimed TV series, which also contributed to his net worth. In 2009, Aidan was chosen for the part of Mitchell in the TV fantasy drama series “Being Human”, which propelled him to stardom, and added a considerable amount to his net worth. He made a big step forward by obtaining the role of Kili in the first installment of the action fantasy film “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” in 2012, joining other stars including Ian McKellen, Martin Freeman and Richard Armitage among others. He repeated his role in the sequels “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” (2013), and “The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies” in 2014, which added a substantial amount to his net worth, thanks partly to franchise’s box office success. He also won an Empire Award in the category Best Male Newcomer for the second part of the film.
Now an accomplished actor, it became easier for Aidan to obtain new roles, and in 2015 he started portraying Ross Poldark in the TV historical drama series “Poldark”, and so far has appeared in 35 episodes of the highly-acclaimed series, which has further increased his net worth. He also received a Breakthrough Award for his work on “Poldark”, by Broadcasting Press Guild Award, and an IFTA Award in the category Best Actor in a Lead Role – Drama, in 2016, and 2017 as well. Concurrently, in 2016 he starred in the romantic drama film “The Secret Scripture”, while most recently he worked on the comedy-drama film “Look Away”, which is completed and waiting to be released.
When it comes to his personal life, Aidan is in a relationship with Eleanor Tomlinson, an actress and his co-star in the TV series “Poldark. Previously, he was in a relationship with Nettie Wakefield, an artist from London, from early to mid- 2017, but the two spent little time together which eventually led to their breakup.
