Early life

Freeman's paternal grandfather, Leonard W. Freeman, was a medic in the British Expeditionary Force during World War II and was killed in action at Dunkirk just a few days before the Dunkirk evacuation.[5] Leonard's father, Richard, was born blind and worked as a piano tuner and organist.[5]

Freeman was raised in his mother's Catholic faith, and attended the Salesian School in Chertsey, Surrey, before attending Brooklands College in nearby Weybridge for media studies.[6] His older brother, Tim, became a singer with the group Frazier Chorus.

He also appeared in several films, including Ali G Indahouse (2002) and Love Actually (2003).[6]

He began to move into more serious dramatic roles on television with his appearance as Lord Shaftesbury in the 2003 BBC historical drama Charles II: The Power and The Passion.
