Who is Cary Elwes’ father?

Cary Elwes was born on 26 October 1962, in London into an illustrious family that had produced many well-known artists, musicians, poets, diplomats, priests, and monks.

His father, Bede Evelyn Dominic Elwes, better known as Dominic Elwes, was a portrait painter while his mother, Tessa Kennedy, was an heiress and a noted interior designer. The couple made a sensation when they eloped to get married in Havana, Cuba.

Cary was born the youngest of his parents’ three children, having two elder brothers; Cassian Elwes, who grew up to be an independent film producer, and Damian Elwes, a reputed artist. From his mother’s second marriage to Hollywood film producer Elliott Kastner, he has two stepsiblings; Dillon and Milica.

Not much is known about his childhood except that he was an altar boy at Westminster Cathedral. However, unlike others in the family, he never attended denominational schools.
