Who is Ronan Farrow, Woody Allen and Mia Farrow’s son – and respected journalist? His new documentary Endangered is now on HBO Max and he once won a Pulitzer prize for exposing Harvey Weinstein
- Despite his dad’s controversy, Farrow has distanced himself from it and carved a reputation as a champion journalist – and even worked for Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration too
- He won a Pulitzer prize for exposing Weinstein, with The New York Times’ Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, and proposed to his partner Jon Lovett in a book draft
With his highly-anticipated documentary Endangered now showing on HBO Max, multi-hyphenate Ronan Farrow has once again taken centre stage as a champion journalist.
The film, which is also an official selection of the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival, depicts the lives of journalists in a world where there is a growing distrust in traditional media due to online misinformation.
But who exactly is Ronan Farrow and what other works is he known for?
He is Hollywood royalty
Farrow, 34, is the only biological son of actress Mia Farrow and filmmaker Woody Allen. He is an American lawyer and journalist who started his career as a youth ambassador for UNICEF and a public servant.
The award-winning journalist is known to be estranged from his controversial father. In 1997, Allen caused a stir when he married Mia’s adopted daughter, Soon-yi Previn.
