TV Teaser

Have you ever wondered how old the actor behind Ryder Hawkins really is? You might be surprised by the answer!

Felix Uff, who plays Ryder in EastEnders, was born in 1994, making him 32 years old in 2026.

Ryder has become a recognisable face to viewers of the BBC soap, with fans continuing to follow his storylines and his place within the Square. However, as is often the case with television, the age of the actor playing a character can be quite different from the age of the character themselves.

Felix has taken on the role of Ryder, bringing the character to life on screen, but many viewers may not have realised just how old he is away from the cameras.

It’s not unusual for soap actors to play characters who are younger or older than they are in real life, and EastEnders has featured plenty of examples over the years.

But what do you think?

Were you surprised to discover Felix Uff is 32, or did you already know his real age?
