He didn’t know his real name until he was 11.
Kit chatted about his name with Interview in 2013, saying, “I was called Kit from day one, really. I only found out my name was Christopher when I was 11.”
He’s not the only artist in his family.
Kit’s mom is an artist who teaches creative writing, and she was once a playwright. Of his parents’ support, he told Interview, “When I started sharing a keen interest in drama and the theater, instead of steering me away from it, they encouraged me to see plays, and think about drama school.”
