Personal Life : Parents, Family and Education

Fergus Gambon was born in 1964 to parents Sir Michael Gambon (father, actor), and Lady Anne Gambon (née Miller) (mother, mathematician and academic).
Fergus was raised in the Kent countryside, near Gravesend.

Through his father’s relationship to set-designer Philippa Hart, Fergus has two half-siblings: brothers Michael (born in 2007) and William (born in 2009). In an unconventional twist, Fergus’ father Michael splits his time between being with his wife in Kent and with his mistress/partner in London.
Fergus’s mother, Anne Miller, stayed with his father Michael till his death in September 2023, even though he had started a second family with Hart. Anne was however devastated when she had came to know of Sir Michaels’ second relationship.
The Gambon family is notoriously private, influenced by Sir Michael, but it is known that Fergus is very close to his mother. It is thought his father’s unconventional lifestyle has created some friction between Michael and Fergus, but their bond endures.
