Floreat chaps

It's not just the present Government that's stuffed full of Old Etonians, led by PM David Cameron.

Two out of this year's five contenders for the BAFTA Orange Wednesday Rising Star Award were contemporaries at the old coll (motto; Floreat Etona) near Windsor founded in the 15th Century.

Pretty boys Eddie Redmayne (My Week with Marilyn, Birdsong) and Tom Hiddleston (War Horse, Archipelago, The Deep Blue Sea) were not just at school together but then both went on to study at Cambridge.

The altogether less posh Adam Deacon (Everywhere and Nowhere, Anuvahood), the so-called "New Face of Youth Cinema", Irishman Chris O'Dowd (Bridesmaids) and Aussie, Chris Hemsworth (Thor), once of TV's Home & Away, complete the quintet.
