Aside from his professional career, Henry has also been recognised as an outstanding provider of charity services.

He was knighted by the Queen in 2015, making his full name Sir Lenworth George Henry CBE.

Henry is expected to play Sadoc Burrows, a hobbit in the Harfoot family from the Second Age of Tolkien’s Middle Earth.

He has also recently received an honorary degree from the University of Oxford for his dedication to entertainment and improving the lives of others around the world.
