Personal Quote:

I watched endless films as a child - everything you could think of, from Ken Loach to David Lynch - but I never saw a career in acting coming. At a certain point people started telling me to go to America but I was never interested in hanging out in Hollywood. I never chased anything. Everything came naturally. See more »

Trivia:

Is often compared to Ryan Gosling. During an interview in 2013, Gosling told that Schoenaerts is an incredible actor and that he hopes he get to work with him. Schoenaerts told Vancouver Sun in 2015 that he's interested in doing a project with Gosling, they also have a friend in common, Nico Leunen. See more »
