Damson Idris was born on September 2, 1991, in Peckham, London, United Kingdom, and is currently 34 years old. His primary location for his professional work is Studio City, Los Angeles, where, as he says, he feels most active and artistic for his acting projects. He is a cultural guy who is deeply connected to his roots and often travels to his primary home location in Peckham, South East London, whenever he gets free time from his busy acting schedule.
There is a funny story behind his real name. His actual birth name was Adamson, but soon after his birth, his mother changed his name to “Damson”. The reason for the name change was that his mother was very happy and overwhelmed about the feeling of having a son like “Dam, I have got a son”.
Family
He was born and grew up in Peckham along with his five other siblings. His parents separated when he was very young, and after the split, his single mother raised him. He is very close to his mother and, during interviews, often gives credit to his mom for his humble and grounded nature. His mother, Philippa, is a Nigerian entrepreneur who raised her six children alone. His father named him Adamson after his grandfather’s name, Adam Alade Idris.
His mother had a dream to work with jewellery, and to fulfil her dream, Damson launched his own jewellery brand named “DIDRIS” in May 2025, representing African culture in its design and even bought his mother a home in Nigeria. He has two sisters and three brothers, and he is the youngest among them.
Education
He received his primary education in London, though the specific school name is not available. He was a trained actor who studied acting at Brunel University London and also completed his graduation in 2013 with a BA Honours degree. After graduation, he was enrolled at “Identity School of Acting” to further polish his acting skills. He left the acting school in 2015, when he began to secure roles in the industry. His first major role came in 2017, in the drama series “Snowfall”. This was the time when he was permanently moved to L.A. as the series was being filmed there.
