He can be seen in Marvel Studio's ANT-MAN & THE WASP alongside a star-studded cast including Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfeiffer, Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lily.
​
He recently wrapped on several projects including Channel Dave's comedy series ZAPPED, Film4's drama NAPTHA where he plays a lead role and Jack Daw's mocumentary TROLL HUNTERS.
​
LION where Ladwa played Nicole Kidman's adopted son, won two BAFTAS and was nominated for six Oscars, 5 Baftas and 4 Golden Globes.

​
As you have come to this site, you may already know or may have gathered from the mugshot above, that Divian Ladwa is in fact an actor or rather a person who pretends in exchange for payment.
He has worked extensively in theatre and has been lucky enough to dabble in film, TV, radio and from time to time in the odd commercial. Ravinnit!
​
He usually spends time on set or in the rehearsal room playing hacky sack. Never in a recording booth as there's never enough room.
​
Ladwa started out doing improvised plays with Fluxx Theatre Company.
​
He's performed in all mediums and spaces from old people's homes, and prisons to 1300 seater theatres, filmed on a bus at 4am in the winter and as far as Tasmania for the award winning See Saw Films. Whatever the scale, he sometimes can't actually believe he's doing it as he's wanted to be an actor since he was 4.
Ladwa use to make short films without any money. Just a camera, laptop, an idea and a little help from friends. He won The Golden Trellick Award at The Portobello Film Festival for his short film, I CHOPPED HER UP.
He's edited showreels for other actors. Usually for friends. Or for friends of friends. He once branched out as far as a friend of a friend's friend but that was pretty nerve-racking.
He was a member of the Chin Woo Athletics Association UK where he held a black belt in Kung Fu. He represented the school and the UK team at World Championships winning bronze and to his surprise (and everyone else's), gold medals.
Ladwa is an intermittent boulderer and has been climbing for a few years. He's not terribly good at it and has never bouldered an actual boulder. He did attempt to climb the concrete block in Shoreditch Park but was away chased by a dog.
