In his free time, Tom enjoys sports, especially football, ice-skating, roller blading, basketball, cricket, swimming and tennis.

He is a very talented young performer and a brilliant singer as he was offered a place in Guildford Cathedral Choir.

Tom stumbled into the entertainment industry at the suggestion of an actress who was a friend of the family.

Tom met with an agent and, 2 weeks later, after auditioning with over 400 other children, he landed in an international campaign and was sent abroad to work.
