Why Adolescence’s Owen Cooper Said "You'll Never Walk Alone" in Golden Globes Speech

Elsewhere in Owen's acceptance speech at the Golden Globes, he expressed his gratitude for the wild ride he's been on ever since skyrocketing to fame.

"Standing here at the Golden Globes does not feel real whatsoever," he said. "What an incredible journey me and my family have been put through."

"What started off as what I thought I might be OK at," Owen went on, "I might be awful at, I took a risk and I went to drama classes, I was the only boy there, it was embarrassing but I got through it."

The Wuthering Heights star added that he's eager to continue learning from those around him.

"But I'm still very much an apprentice," he shared, "I'm still learning every day, I'm still every day learning from the people sat in front of me who have inspired me."

"I wouldn't be here without you guys," Owen added. "This is mad, what is going on?"

The teenager ended his speech with his Liverpool shoutout and, "Bring on 2026."
