From pirouettes in Billy Elliot to a destructive superhero - Jamie Bell's career has taken yet another exciting turn.
The Billingham born 28-year-old stars as The Thing in new Marvel Comics based film The Fantastic Four - hoped to be a Hollywood hit when it's released in August.
The premise of the film is that four people are teleported to another universe, which alters their physical form and grants them new abilities.
The group must learn to harness their powers and work together as a team to save earth from a 'familiar' enemy.
Jamie plays Ben Grimm - an alienated kid from a tough neighbourhood. He is then transformed into The Thing - who has a trademark orange rocky appearance and famous battle cry "It's clobberin' time!".
King Kong and The Adventures of Tintin are two other films in which Jamie has had a starring role.
He first shot to fame in Billy Elliot in 2000 directed by Stephen Daldry.
Last year he separated from his wife actress Evan Rachel Wood, 27, who is the mother of his son.
