Callum Robilliard Turner was born on 15 February 1990 in Hammersmith, London, England. He was raised on a council estate in Chelsea, London, by his mother who was a club promoter at the time. His middle name is after his mother's friend, poet David Robilliard, who died over a year before Turner was born. On his upbringing, Turner said: "The thing I always find interesting in my childhood was, yeah, I was growing up on an estate, single mum, working-class, but then I also had all these colourful characters around. It wasn’t about navigating two worlds. There were three, four, five more." His mother instilled in him a love of film and inspired him to become an actor. After leaving school early to play football semi-professionally, he became a model and also worked at Dover Street Market before acting.

Turner started his career in 2010, modelling for companies such as Next and Reebok, and in his first acting role for the short student film Think of England for the University of Hertfordshire Film and Television programme. • Illustration — Turner in 2018 Turner starred as Tony in Zero, a 2011 film directed by David Barrouk and produced by Michael Riley.
