At the age of 10, Douglas moved to Sevenoaks, Kent and spent his formative years there. Suffering from dyslexia, he had difficulties reading and writing, and speaking later about his experience, he said that he ‘‘had to put in double or triple the amount of effort as everyone else’’, but added that as the result of dyslexia, he was more ‘‘resilient in every sense’’. He was interested in music and played the trumpet, and ultimately became more interested in acting. He was a student of the private Solefield School in Kent, and then at Bennett Memorial Diocesan School. He starred in ‘‘Agamemnon’’ in his school play, and stated that he felt like all the attention was on him, and he liked feeling engaged for the first time.
Booth made his professional acting debut with a major role in ‘‘Hunters of the Kahri’’, directed and written by Ali Paterson, then portrayed Sefton in ‘‘From Time To Time’’, an adventure drama movie but which received a mediocre response. In 2010, however, Douglass made his big breakthrough as he joined the cast of ‘‘The Pillars of the Earth’’, an appraised television series, and a total of nine episodes allowed him to be exposed further in the media. In the following year, he worked on the mini-series ‘‘Great Expectations’’, starring as Pip and working alongside Jack Roth and Ray Winstone, which received a mostly positive response from the audience. Douglas followed by portraying Kyle in ‘‘LOL’’ the next year, which focuses on a love story that builds up between Booth’s character and another main character, Lola. Despite receiving mixed to negative response from the critics, ‘‘Lol’’ was fairly popular among the young audience, so his net worth was rising steadily.
As of 2013, Douglas landed the main role in ‘‘Romeo and Juliet’,’ alongside Hailee Steinfeld, and although received a lukewarm response, won two IFMCA Awards in addition to being nominated for two more. In the upcoming year, Booth worked on ‘‘Noah’’, playing the role of Shem, which follows the Biblical story of the Old Testament patriarch Noah, and was nominated for a Golden Globe award and received mostly positive response from the audience and critics. In 2015, he starred in ‘‘Jupiter Ascending’’, an adventure movie created by The Wachowski sisters, then in 2016 Booth played one of his most important roles in ‘‘Pride and Prejudice and Zombies’’, which was loosely based on the book ‘‘Pride and Prejudice’’, playing Mr. Bingley. In 2017, he played one of the main characters in ‘‘Mary Shelley’’.
When it comes to his future projects, Booth has two ahead of him, ‘‘The Dirt’’, in which he’ll star and ‘‘Gore’’. To conclude, he has had 21 acting gigs so far.
