Rupert Friend stars as older Kevin Lewis (the main character/lead role) in the boxer/drama film The Kid (<--- full official website's contents coming soon!), based on the best-selling autobiography from Kevin Lewis, who also wrote the screenplay for the film and co-produced it. The Kid recently premiered at both Cannes Film Festival and Edinburgh Film Festival (Read HeyUGuys' The Kid Review - Edinburgh Film Festival). Just recently, Revolver Entertainment acquires adaptation of the best seller The Kid

The Kid synopis (via Britfilms.com):
Kevin Lewis never had a chance. Growing up on a poverty-stricken Council estate in London, beaten and starved by his parents, bullied at school and ultimately abandoned by social services, his life was never his own.

Even after he was put into care, he found himself on the streets caught up in a criminal underworld that knew him as 'The Kid'.

Yet Kevin survived to make a better life for himself. This is his heartbreaking and inspiring true story...
Here are the following...
