Tamer Hassan: From New Cross to the Big Screen

Early Life and Background

Birth and family

Tamer Hassan was born on 18 March 1968 in New Cross, London, into a Turkish Cypriot family.  

Youth work, early jobs

From a young age Hassan did work on market stalls. He also took up boxing: starting amateur boxing around age 17, in which he won two British titles. An injury led him to change direction.  

Turning to Acting

After the injury ended his boxing ambition, Hassan moved into business (running restaurants and nightclubs) and eventually into acting.  

Some of his early film roles that brought him into wider recognition include:

The Football Factory (2004), where he played the leader of the Millwall firm.  

Other films like Layer Cake (also 2004), Batman Begins (2005), The Business (2005) etc.  

More recently he has appeared in the series Snatch (2017-18) and Game of Thrones (Season 6).  

Personal Life

He is married and has two children. His son is a professional footballer, and his daughter, Belle, appeared on Love Island in 2019.  

He is a fan of Millwall FC.  

Issues with Police, Legal Troubles, or Controversies

In researching available sources, there is no credible public record I found that Tamer Hassan has been convicted of crime, or has serious legal convictions in the UK for wrongdoing. Nor did I find credible, well-documented allegations of criminal offences involving him, apart from his admitted issues with behaviour and professionalism. Below are what is known, and the things sometimes misreported or conflated.

Behavioural issues / reputation on set

Hassan has himself admitted that during the 2000s he was heavy-drinking, partied hard, sometimes arrived to film sets “aggressive, late, hungover” etc., which did impact his reputation and led people to label him “a problem” at times.  

This is not the same as criminal charges or offences, but shows personal and professional difficulties.

No public criminal record found

I searched for records of arrests or convictions associated with him and found nothing credible to suggest he was convicted of serious crimes, or had major run-ins with police beyond perhaps being questioned or involved in minor incidents (if at all).

Rumours vs verifiable facts

Some tabloid sources have hinted at scandals or misbehaviour, but when checked against reliable sources these are either unsubstantiated or insufficiently documented. Whenever dealing with public figures, especially actors, one must distinguish between allegations, rumours, and what is legally proven.

So, while Tamer Hassan has had a rough edge about his public persona and some admitted trouble with his behaviour (especially partying etc.), there is no strong evidence of serious criminal wrongdoing or legal issues involving police beyond what he himself has acknowledged.

Success & Career Resilience

Despite the personal challenges, Tamer Hassan has had a resilient and varied career, with significant achievements.

Film & TV roles

His roles in The Football Factory, Layer Cake, Batman Begins, The Business, Kick-Ass, and later in Snatch, Game of Thrones, among others, show he’s been successful both in British cinema and internationally.  

Typecasting & Strength

Hassan often plays “tough guy” or gangster-type roles, which he has been able to pull off convincingly. This niche has given him a strong presence in British crime / gangster / urban drama genres.

Personal growth

He has spoken publicly about how his lifestyle — heavy partying, casual misbehaviour — nearly damaged his career, and how he needed to grow up, learn discipline, professionalism. These kinds of reflections suggest personal maturity and the ability to adapt.  

Charity & humanitarian work

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Hassan co-founded the charity Mask Our Heroes, delivering PPE to police stations, hospitals, nursing homes, schools. This indicates a side of him invested in giving back.  

Reflection & Conclusion

Tamer Hassan’s journey combines both the rough edges of someone who came up outside of formal training, adopted a hard-knock street persona, and the success of turning that into a stable, recognisable career in film and television.

While he has admitted to behaviours that harmed his reputation — partying too much, being unreliable or unprofessional at times — there is no verified evidence of serious crime or legal charges beyond those admitted issues. On the other hand, he has shown resilience, pivoted, and maintained relevance over decades, which is itself an achievement in a tough industry.
