Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, Killing Eve actress Jodie Comer and Spiderman actor Tom Holland are among the A-list stars leading the way in Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Europe list for 2019.

Musician George Ezra and Baby Driver star Lily James also made the cut on the list which celebrates young influential talent and is released every year by the American publication.

Other notable names include singers Jorja Smith, Jess Glynne and Outlaw King actress Florence Pugh.

Oscar-nominated Black Panther star Letitia Wright, who won the BAFTA Rising Star award on Sunday night, also earned her place on the list.

Accepting her award at the ceremony, Wright told how she battled a “deep depression” a few years ago.

“The only thing that pulled me out of that was God, my belief, my family, and an email from BAFTA telling me they wanted me to be a part of BAFTA Breakthrough Brits and it inspired me to keep going.”

Mary Queen of Scots actor Joe Alwyn, rapper Octavian and model Iskra Lawrence also bagged themselves a place on the coveted list.

Forbes Europe editor, Alex Wood said: “Four years on from its launch, the 30 Under 30 Europe list continues to be not only the defining measure of success for the region’s next generation of leaders, but also a source of empowerment for all honourees.

“We’ve searched throughout Europe to identify 300 of the most revolutionary entrepreneurs, innovators and disruptors in ten diverse sectors, who are changing the game throughout the region and across the globe."
