Trent Manley Ford was born in Akron, Ohio, to a father who was a US Navy test pilot and a mother who was a British Airways head stewardess from Birmingham, West Midlands. He moved to the United Kingdom at the age of one with his parents and grew up in Cradley and Malvern with his brother and two sisters.
Ford's academic background includes studying Economics and English Literature at Clare College, Cambridge University. He is a talented actor known for his roles in films such as Gosford Park (2001),How to Deal (2003),and Burning Blue (2013).
Trent is most recognized for his on-screen work, often playing the role of the charming heartthrob in film and television. Throughout his career, he has demonstrated a high level of dramatic versatility, while also maintaining a successful modeling career. Ford has been photographed by some of the most prestigious names in fashion photography, including Mario Testino, Bruce Weber, and Peter Lindbergh.
He has appeared multiple times in V Magazine and Italian Vogue, and has campaigned for brands such as Gap and Valentino. Ford was also the leading man in the global advertising campaign for Calvin Klein perfume 'Eternity Moment' opposite Scarlett Johansson.
In May 2020, Ford received a life-saving liver transplant from UCLA after falling gravely ill. This experience had a profound impact on him, and he has since become an advocate for organ donation. Ford and his partner, Natalie Cohen, continue to be of service to other transplant patients and caregivers, and have founded their 501(c)(3) nonprofit RELIVE to provide support and resources for those affected by liver failure and liver transplantation.
Ford lives with his partner and their two cats, and is grateful for the second chance at life he has been given. He believes that the best chapters are yet to come, and that the book of his life is not yet written.
