2 Education
Tom Ellis attended High Storrs School in Sheffield throughout his education and was always involved in music, as he played the French horn in the City of Sheffield Youth Orchestra, but later he realized that his true passion was acting.
3 Tom Ellis Wife(s) & Daughters
He has three daughters: Florence Elsie and Marnie Mae (from his marriage to Tamzin Outhwaite, whom he was married to from 2006 to 2014), and Nora (from his relationship with Estelle Morgan). This 2019 he married the screenwriter Meaghan Oppenheimer.

7 Great Success as Lucifer

“Lucifer” premiered in Latin America in 2017 on Universal Channel. Tom was nominated for a 2016 Teen Choice Award for Best New TV Star for his role as the devil himself, which he does very well.

The Welsh actor has seen all of his colleague’s films and considers him a very versatile star, so he doesn’t lose hope that one day Hanks will make an appearance on the series “Lucifer.”
10 Tom Ellis’s Best Friend
His best friend is another actor, James McAvoy. Few know that these two studied at the same acting academy in the UK and this brought them together so much that it made them the best of friends; indeed, McAvoy was his best man at his wedding to Tamzin.
