The Last Kingdom star Alexander Dreymon is recognized for his on-screen charisma and battle-ready demeanor but also is a dedicated family guy with a close-knit clan.
With his rugged good looks and magnetic screen presence, Dreymon has quickly become a fan favorite, earning critical acclaim for his performances across both film and television.
However, fans much appreciate his off-screen life, his relationship with his family, and being raised in a family of artists.
Alexander Dreymon’s parents and siblings
On February 7, 1983, Dreymon was born in Germany to his parents — his mother Loren and his father Wilson. Some reports suggest that the actor’s father was Hans-Micheal Rehberg, who was an actor and director in Germany.
However, most reports suggest that Dreymon was raised by his mother, and Loren was allegedly the breadwinner for their family. Dreymon has never talked about his parents, so not much is known about them.
As a result, he is pretty private when it comes to his personal life and his family background. However, in interviews, he has spoken about his close relationship with his parents and the influence they have had on his life and career.
He has credited his mother, a teacher, for instilling in him a love of literature and the arts, while his father, a doctor, taught him the value of hard work and perseverance.
According to IMDb, Dreymon’s mother was a history teacher. He is quoted saying, “My mom was a history teacher when I was a kid, so I hated history out of rebellion.”

Alexander Dreymon’s childhood and career
Despite the childhood dream of becoming an actor, his parents had different plans for Dreymon and wanted him to pursue a career in medicine.
He has often discussed his early life and how he grew up in different countries, including Germany, France, and the United States. This exposed him to various cultures and helped him develop his passion for storytelling.
Dreymon said, “As a child, it was really hard because I’d be thrown into a new school and have to make new friends, or I’d sit in class for months without speaking the language, but as I got older, I welcomed the possibility of discovering new cultures and languages.”
However, Dreymon does not have the feeling of nationality in any country he lives in. He once admitted, “I don’t really feel an allegiance to any of the countries I have lived in, even though I feel like part of them, and part of them is in me.
He also spent time living in San Francisco and South Dakota, where he picked up the skill of horse riding. After completing his education, he began acting in 2010 and has since appeared in several films and television shows.
His breakout role came in 2015 when he was cast as the lead in the hit historical drama series The Last Kingdom. The 40-year-old played the role of Uhtred of Bebbanburg, a Saxon warrior who fought against the invading Vikings in 9th-century England.
He has also appeared in several films, including Resistance, Heartlock, and Christopher and His Kind, and has won praise for his performances in each of these projects.
With his impressive range and dedication to his craft, Dreymon will continue to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry in the years to come.
