Early Life and Studies
Robert Brydon Jones was born on 3 May 1965 in Baglan, South Wales. His mother, Joy Jones (née Brydon), was a school teacher, and his father, Howard Jones, was a car dealer. He grew up near Swansea, in Baglan in the town of Port Talbot.
Brydon was educated at two independent schools: St. John's School in Porthcawl, which Eddie Izzard also attended, and Dumbarton House School in Swansea until the age of 14; this was followed by Porthcawl Comprehensive School, where he would meet Ruth Jones (with whom he later worked in Gavin and Stacey), he became a member of the school's youth theatre group. While at Dumbarton he once stole fellow pupil Catherine Zeta-Jones's lunch money (which he admitted while participating in a series-four episode of Would I Lie To You?).
