Early life and career

[edit]

Born in Jakarta to Javanese parents, Ario Bayu had spent nearly all of his formative years in the city of Hamilton, New Zealand, where his father studied and then went into business. He returned to Indonesia in 2004 with the intent to pursue his acting and music ambitions.[1]

He studied at the Globe Theatre in London.[citation needed]

In his first break through role, Ario Bayu plays a detective [2] in Dead Time: Kala, Indonesia's first tribute to film noir which won rave reviews from critics, directed by Joko Anwar.

In 2013, Ario played alongside Hollywood actress Joan Chen in HBO Asia's production Serangoon Road.[3]

In Java Heat, Ario plays opposite Kellan Lutz and Oscar nominee Mickey Rourke.[4]

In Soekarno: Indonesia Merdeka (2013), Ario plays the protagonist Sukarno, founding President of Indonesia.[5] He reprised the same role in the 2021 war film Kadet 1947, focusing on the Indonesian War of Independence.
