Mathew Swift is a multifaceted creative force, excelling in various roles as an actor, producer, writer, and director. His early life was marked by a significant event, as his family made the bold decision to immigrate to Australia from South Africa when he was just five years old. They settled in Brisbane, where Mathew would eventually discover his passion for gymnastics at the tender age of seven, despite initially being resistant to the idea.
As he grew older, Mathew's skills in gymnastics improved dramatically, and he began competing at a young age. His promising career, however, was tragically cut short when he suffered an accident that forced him to retire from the sport at the age of sixteen. This setback did not deter Mathew, as he soon found a new passion in the world of acting.
At seventeen, Mathew decided to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming an actor, and he was accepted into The Performing Arts Conservatory in Brisbane city. This marked the beginning of his journey in the film industry, which would eventually lead him to notable roles in Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean and Thor: Ragnarok. Today, Mathew divides his time between the Gold Coast in Australia, Vancouver, and Los Angeles, continuing to hone his craft and make a name for himself in the entertainment industry.
