If you're looking for a film to watch in cinemas this weekend, then it just has to be Challengers, starring Zendaya, which comes to screens on 26th April. But, who is her co-star, Mike Faist?
The movie follows Tashi, a former tennis prodigy-turned-coach who trains her husband, Art, to be a worldwide champion. But, after a losing streak, he soon has to compete against his former best friend and Tashi’s ex-boyfriend, Patrick.
You might recognise Patrick as the The Crown's Josh O'Connor (he played a young King Charles, FYI!), but here is everything you need to know about Mike Faist, who plays Art.

Mike is 32-years-old, and for the astrology fans out there, his birthday is 5th January, making him a Capricorn!
Where is Mike Faist from?
Mike was born in Gahanna, Ohio, where he was adopted by his parents, Julia and Kurt Faist. He then moved to New York City and studied at the prestigious American Musical and Dramatic Academy, but soon dropped out and worked selling Off-Broadway tickets.

Mike has had a pretty prevalent career in musical theatre, starring in shows such as Dear Evan Hansen and Brokeback Mountain and even earning himself a Tony nomination.

Does Mike Faist have a partner?
We don't know much about Mike's personal life, but we do know that he was rumoured to have dated professional dancer, Tilly Evans-Kreuger.
