According to Adam, he was very focused on the goal to become an actor ever since he was 12 years old. That year his school head suggested that the boy should attend summer acting course, organized by Anna Scher. When talking about this experience, Adam has revealed that at first his teacher did not pay any attention to him. But it took only a week for her to realize that the boy has some potential. By the way, the tuition was only 80 pounds, but back then Adam Deacon net worth was even smaller than that, so he had to take a Saturday job. Just three years later after taking this summer course Adam debuted in movie Bill’s New Frock.
A breakthrough in his career came up in 2006, when the movie Kidulthood reached the cinemas. Although the movie wasn’t very successful commercially, it received positive critical response. For example, a movie critic writing for The Guardian called it “a rollicking UK youth ride, cinematically filmed, persuasively acted and bumped along by a fantastic all-British soundtrack… It’s also very funny, laced with a humor of the slapped-in-the-face-with-a-kipper sort: you can’t help laughing because it’s so outrageous”. Years later, when giving an interview for the same magazine, Adam shared an interesting memory: “When Kidulthood came out, I remember walking down Oxford Street the next day and being bombarded by kids who wanted autographs.“ Positive critical response and public support has lead the actor to believe that the success of the movie will give a boost for his career. However, things did not quite work out that way. The actor claims that after the release of Kidulthood he found it even more difficult to get roles. According to him, even the casting directors who actually looked for an actor to play a street kid did not want him, because he was “too street”: Adam looked too scary. So it was only after he received a BAFTA Award for Rising Star in 2012, that Adam Deacon net worth started to grow with some speed.
