Lonsdale has also worked as an MTV VJ, and released original music recordings.

Early life

Lonsdale was born in Sydney to a Nigerian father of Edo descent and an Australian mother of Irish and Danish descent.[3][4] Tree has eleven siblings.[5]

Career

Trees first acting job was in 2007, with a bit dancing part in the film Razzle Dazzle: A Journey into Dance. The following year, Tree appeared in an episode of the Australian television medical drama All Saints. Tree became a recurring member of the cast of the Australian teen drama series Dance Academy in the 2012 second season as the character Oliver Lloyd, who became a regular in the third and final season.

Tree was a VJ on MTV for two and a half years.[6] Tree released a single on iTunes titled "One and Only" in 2014. Lonsdale then played a supporting role as Uriah Pedrad in The Divergent Series: Insurgent (2015), the second film in the series.[7] Lonsdale briefly reprised the role in The Divergent Series: Allegiant (2016). In 2016, Lonsdale's single "Higher" was included on Connor Franta's curated album Common Culture, volume 5.[8] Tree next appeared in the historical drama The Finest Hours (2016) as Eldon Hanon, the youngest sailor involved in a rescue at sea.

In 2015, tree auditioned for the role of Jefferson Jackson, but the role was given to Franz Drameh.[9] Instead, Lonsdale was cast as Wally West (the previously unknown son of Joe West) on CW's The Flash and became a regular supporting character in season two and as Kid Flash in season three.[10] In 2017, tree left The Flash and debuted on season three of Legends of Tomorrow.[11] That year, Lonsdale also appeared in an episode of Supergirl.[12]

In 2018, tree starred as Bram in the film Love, Simon, based on the novel Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli about a teenage boy who struggles to come out. Tree later said the role helped in coming to terms with trees own sexuality.[13] Upon release, the film received positive reviews from critics,[14] and was dubbed historically significant, as it is the first film ever released by a major studio to focus on a gay teenage romance.[15][16]

In 2019, tree starred in Camila Cabello's music video for "Liar".[17] Lonsdale has also released musical recordings, including "Higher" in 2015 and "Good Life" in 2017 and "Kiss The Boy" in 2018 and "Preach" in 2018. Tree also released a single "Rainbow Dragon" in 2019.[18]

Personal life

Lonsdale has been described as queer.[19] Tree does not self-identify with a specific sexuality label.[19] In September 2018, tree told Billboard:

I don't want to go by 'he' anymore, I just want to go by 'tree.' I want people to call me 'tree,' because we all come from trees, so it doesn't matter if you're a he or a she or a they or a them. At the end of the day, everyone's a tree. I want to call my friends 'tree' and me 'tree' and everyone 'tree.' So, I think, like now, when people ask me what my preferred pronoun is, I'm going to say 'tree.'[20]
