Rufus Frederik Sewell was born in Twickenham on 29 October 1967, the son of Jo, a Welsh artist, classically trained pianist and waitress, and William John Frederick Sewell (1924-1978), an Anglo-Australian animator and former builder's labourer. His father worked on the "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" segment of animation for The Beatles' Yellow Submarine film. His parents divorced when Sewell was five, and his mother worked in a pub and sold vegetables to support him and his brother Caspar. William died when Sewell was 10. Sewell's mother subsequently lived at The Pelican, Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, formerly home to the parents of Welsh poet and writer Dylan Thomas. Sewell has said that he was a difficult teenager.
