Dylan Naden: meet the budding young actor heading to the BAFTAs

A budding young actor from Greater Manchester who recently made his big screen debut is to attend the BAFTAs after the film he starred in was nominated for an award.

13 year old Dylan Naden, a student at Audenshaw School, will attend the star studded event with his dad after Cowboy Dave, a short film he appeared in, was shortlisted in the best Short Film category.

The film, which was shot in Trafford, tells the story of how a young boy's life is changed by a chance encounter with a musician who's down on his luck.

It's Dylan's first big screen role, following an appearance in the Jimmy McGovern drama Broken in 2017.
