Owen Cooper joined his parents in the smoking area after he made history becoming the youngest Emmy winner ever on Sunday night.

The actor, 15, who shot to fame earlier this year in Netflix’s Adolescence, won Best Supporting Actor at this year’s ceremony.

Adolescence cleaned up at the awards too, walking away with eight gongs in total.

Owen was supported by his proud parents Andy and Noreen Cooper for the biggest night of his career so far.

A new video has showed how he joined them in the designated smoking area, staying by their side as the evening came to an end.

Owen’s mum Noreen, who dazzled in a red over the shoulder gown, could be seen puffing on a cigarette as his dad Andy also lit one up.

They trio were engaged in light-hearted conversation with another attendee as Owen kept his hands on the box containing his trophy. 

Owen was given a standing ovation as he took to the stage to receive his award from Sydney Sweeney, who gave him a hug after beating stars such as Javier Bardem to the award.

Adolescence, the story of a boy accused of murder after he discovers ‘incel’ culture online, has averaged around 45million views per month and become a must-watch for parents and teenagers around the world. 

Accepting his award Owen said: ‘Honestly, when I started these drama classes a couple years back, I didn’t expect to be even in the United States, never mind here.

‘It may have my name on this award, but it really belongs to the people behind the camera and Stephen and all the cast’.

He continued: ‘I think tonight proves that if you listen and you focus and step out of your comfort zone, you can achieve anything in life’.

Owen concluded: ‘I was nothing about three years ago. I’m here now. If you listen and you focus and you step out of your comfort zone a little bit, who cares if you get embarrassed a little bit?’ 

Owen has now landed back in the UK as he returns to school to continues his studies for his GCSEs.

He was given one week off by his headteacher to fly out to Los Angeles for the awards.  

Adolescence received a total of eight wins and 13 nominations. 

Star Stephen Graham won in the acting and writing categories, the latter alongside Jack Thorne.

Best Supporting Actress went to Erin Doherty, while the show had two in the bank from pre-show hand-outs for cinematography and casting.

Its director Philip Barantini scooped the prize for Directing A Limited Series, Anthology Series or Movie.

Presenter Elizabeth Banks commented that Barantini was ‘the one-r,’ a joke that played on the limited series’s one-take filming style that captivated viewers.

She also played on the fact that he was the only man nominated in the category before opening the envelope and declaring him the winner.

Actor Stephen Graham was one of the night’s big winners, taking home Best Actor for his role of Jamie’s father Eddie Miller, as well as sharing the writing award with Jack Thorne and collecting Best Series on behalf of the cast and crew.

As he took his acting award, he said: ‘I’m just a mixed race kid from a block of flats, so for me to be here today in front of my peers and to be acknowledged today is the most humbling thing.’
