He was adopted at birth, by parents who were both teachers, and grew up in Wales and southeast England. He has a younger brother who was also adopted. Stevens boarded on a scholarship at Tonbridge School, an independent school in Kent. There he became interested in drama after auditioning for the title role in Macbeth with his teacher, novelist Jonathan Smith.

While at Cambridge, he was a member of the Footlights with Stefan Golaszewski, Tim Key and Mark Watson, and was also active in the Marlowe Society.

Career In 2004, Stevens began his professional acting career when Peter Hall cast him as Orlando in his touring production of Shakespeare 's As You Like It. The tour took the production to the Rose Theatre in Kingston upon Thames, the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York City, the Curran Theatre in San Francisco, and the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles. His debut performance earned him glowing reviews from prominent critics in Britain and the United States, as well as a commendation at the 2004 Ian Charleson Awards. In 2006, Stevens starred as Nick Guest in the BBC adaptation of Alan Hollinghurst 's Booker Prize - winning novel The Line of Beauty.

In 2010, Stevens got his biggest break when he was cast as Matthew Crawley in the ITV series Downton Abbey, created and written by Oscar - winning screenwriter Julian Fellowes. The series went on to be a global sensation and has been nominated for several Emmy, BAFTA, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Awards since its debut. The central love story of Matthew Crawley and his distant cousin, Lady Mary Crawley, played by Michelle Dockery, was enormously popular.

Also in 2014, he appeared in the magic realism comedy - drama film The Cobbler, and in the dark action film A Walk Among the Tombstones. He played a simulacrum of Sir Lancelot in the 2014 comedy film Night at the Museum : Secret of the Tomb. Stevens played the Beast, opposite Emma Watson as Belle, in Disney 's live action remake adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. The film was released in March 2017, and earned over $1.2 billion in worldwide box office revenue, making it the second highest - grossing film of 2017, and the 12th highest - grossing film of all time. In February 2016, Stevens was cast in the lead role of David Charles Haller in the FX series Legion, an X-Men - related drama created by Noah Hawley.
