Who Is Toby Regbo? – Biography

He was born on the 18th of October 1991 in London, England to a Norwegian father and a British mother who were raised in London. Toby has a younger brother named Louis.

The name Regbo is not quite a popular name in Norway and there is an interesting reason for that. Toby’s family originally went by the Norwegian surname of Hansen which is very popular and one of his ancestors just got tired of having a name that almost all and sundry in Norway bore so he did something legendary by replacing the family name with Regbo and a new generation was born.

As a result, Toby Regbo is related to every Norwegian Regbo there is in the world, the number which as of 2011 was estimated at about a dozen.

A few details about Toby’s maternal family have also come to light, including the fact that his maternal grandfather was an Italian cruise ship captain.

Also, his maternal grandmother who hailed from Australia was a ballerina. Now we know where some of Regbo’s artistic genes stem from.

Toby attended Latymer Upper School in West London where he first became interested in acting. However, his first drama class wasn’t at all pleasing.

As he told,  his teacher had him stand in front of the mirror and pretend to be a plant and that just put Toby off, but he stayed on, and subsequently, he got to realize that acting was indeed his true calling.
