Barney Mitchell, a character on the popular soap opera EastEnders, has quickly become a fan favorite since his debut in June. But what many may not know is that the young actor who plays him, Lewis Bridgeman, is actually a genius. Despite struggling with anxiety and being diagnosed with autism and dyspraxia, Lewis has proved that he is not only a talented actor, but also incredibly intelligent.
At just 12 years old, Lewis passed Mensa's rigorous intelligence test, placing him in the top 2% of the world's population. Mensa, known as the largest and oldest high-IQ society globally, has a minimum accepted IQ of 132. Lewis's mother, Jayne, shared with the Maldon Standard that while her son excels in intelligence, he often struggles with social situations and making friends. However, she also mentioned that his school, Plume, has been incredibly supportive and Lewis has made significant progress.
Currently, Lewis is involved in a major storyline on EastEnders. His character, Barney Mitchell, has found himself in trouble after an altercation with Ravi Gulati. The drama began when Ravi noticed his sister, Avani, texting someone and became curious about who it could be. As we now know, Avani's secret boyfriend is Mason, and Barney is the only one who knows his true identity. Last week, when Avani's mother Priya questioned her about the relationship, Avani lied and said it was actually her best friend Barney.
But as Mason continues to pressure her to take their relationship to the next level, Avani realizes she's not ready and confesses to him. Enraged and seeking revenge, Ravi goes after Barney, thinking he's the one responsible for hurting his sister. Barney quickly realizes the case of mistaken identity and tries to escape through the market, but Ravi catches up to him. Though Barney insists he's not afraid, he soon finds himself dragged up to the top of the viaduct above Turpin Road.
Despite the intense situation, Lewis has continued to impress viewers with his acting skills and ability to bring Barney to life on the screen. And with his high IQ and determination, it's clear that Lewis has a bright future ahead of him, both on and off the set of EastEnders.
