Jonah Lees was born to become a performer, not that he was influenced by anyone in his family to take up acting and singing, he gravitated towards it all himself. When someone is bursting with talent, then there needs to be an outlet, Jonah found the perfect one through acting, songwriting, and singing, and he excels in all three.
The young actor was born on 24 November 1995, in Colchester, United Kingdom, to his parents. He was born about a minute after his elder-brother Christian Lees; they are identical twins. The twins, both, loved to perform from a young age, and they started acting around the same time and later found fame appearing in the same movie together.

Though Jonah Lees started appearing in movies and TV shows from the time he was ten years old, it took a while for the actor to really start making a mark. From the first moment he started in acting schools, it was clear the actor was going to make it big, and now he will get the chance to showcase all of his talents to the world when he appears in the Netflix series The Letter for the King as Jussipo.

Jussipo plays the comic relief and also the quirky, smart guy of the group of friends who take on the journey to deliver a letter for the King. And by the looks of the pictures released by the promotion department of the series, he also seems to be a bard, someone who enjoys singing and playing instruments.
