Patrick Stewart Net Worth in 2024: How Rich Is This Star Trek Actor Now!

Patrick Hewes Stewart, the iconic face of Captain Picard from Star Trek series and Professor Charles from the well known X-Men series, is an eminently famous English actor who paved his way through the local stage dramas and repertory theatres to the Television shows and Hollywood blockbusters.

Patrick Stewart Early Life

Patrick Stewart was born on July 13, 1940(age 77) in Mirfield, West Riding of Yorkshire, England. His mother, Gladys (Barrowclough) was a weaver and textile worker, while his father, Alfred Stewart, served in British Army.

The pride of the military man was admired and worshiped by his little boy for all the war-stories and adventure tales he shared with him. But, his childhood went through a long period of domestic abuse and trauma from the age of seven.

A few years back, he shared his story in magazines like HELLO! about his childhood battles of protecting his mother from his drunk and violent father whom he deeply respected, yet feared. “Violence is a choice a man makes and he alone is responsible for it.”, he said in an interview.

It wasn’t until 2012 that he discovered his father suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) but Alfred Stewart had been dead for 32 years by then.

His father being a pretty good example of male irresponsibilities, had deep impacts on young Patrick Stewart. It followed him like trails on snow and it was only him who was capable of pulling himself out of this mental disturbance.

He was alone, piqued, depressed, but talented. It was this feeling of isolation and loneliness that drew him towards finding a refuge in acting. “The stage offered escape”, he says. He could be someone else, in some very different situation, at some very different state and could act completely normal without actually thinking about it.

But then, every other role of anger, fury and playing characters having murderous instincts made him re-encounter his fears of surrendering himself to those feelings.

It was 1981 when the role of psychotic Leontes in The Winter’s Tale helped him succeed over his fears of unleashing his subdued emotions. He gave himself completely to the delusions and madness of the character.

He credits the director Ronald Eyre for helping him achieve the breakthrough and he was never again afraid of his impulsive self on stage. Later, in 2007, he became patron of Refuge, a national domestic violence charity supporting the women and children experiencing abuse.
