But this kid from Perth, who could be mistaken for Zac Efron’s long lost brother, is a lot more interesting than you’d think since the world only knows him for his pretty good looks.

The Aussie’s rise to fame was almost in his blood thanks to his Canadian mother and New Zealander father, who both worked in Australia’s film industry.

While this explains where he got his acting chops, it’s still admirable that he’s been able to carve out a name for himself in Tinseltown.

How did Dacre Montgomery find fame?

The 26-year-old’s most significant role to date is as Billy Hargrove in Stranger Things. He first appeared in season two and returned for season three.

His angsty character was the show’s resident bad boy, and women everywhere were pretty happy about his broody vibe.

However, Dacre has been in the industry since 2011, and he landed his first role on Betrand the Terrible as Fred, and he was featured in the pilot for Family Tree.

Dacre is more than just an actor and his wide-ranging interests outside of film will make you love him even more.

First, he revealed he loves candles and low lighting to set the mood in his home and that he loves to surf.

However, he only started a few years ago, inspiring anyone interested in trying something new that they feel too old to start.

He said, “My poetry started out as a cathartic experience. I would always write when I was really anxious.”

He has since turned that love into an incredible project, and in 2019, he published his book titled: DKMH Poems by Dacre Montgomery.

Sorry ladies, our perfect fantasy boyfriend is spoken for. Dacre has been dating Perth model Liv Pollock since 2018. 

The couple have appeared at many swanky Hollywood parties together, including the 2019 Emmys and Vanity Fair’s Oscars after-party in 2019.

In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Liv revealed she first hit things off with the star over social media. 

“Perth being a small place, we knew each other through mutual contacts from work. Then through social media started talking, developing our relationship and it grew from there,” she explained.
