EastEnders Fans Stunned by Oscar Branning Actor’s Real Age Reveal
So, I’ve just come across something that left me—and a lot of other EastEnders fans—absolutely speechless. Oscar Branning is back on the Square, but it’s not just the storyline that’s got everyone talking. It’s the real age of the actor playing him, Pierre Moullier, that’s causing a buzz across social media and fan forums.
Let’s rewind a little. Oscar Branning, as many fans will remember, is the teenage son of Max Branning and Tanya Cross. He first appeared on the show back in 2007 and hasn’t been seen since a quick visit to Max on Father’s Day in 2017. Since then, he’s been off the radar, living with Tanya following her split from Max. But now, in 2025, Oscar’s made a surprise return to Walford—and he’s clearly not the same little kid we remember.

This week, he popped up on our screens again, reaching out to his sister Lauren after getting into some trouble. Pierre Moullier has taken over the role, and honestly, he fits the part well. But here’s the twist: while Oscar is supposed to be 17 years old in the storyline, Pierre is actually 24—or possibly even 25!
Let that sink in for a second. Fans couldn’t believe it. On Facebook and Twitter, reactions were pouring in. One viewer said, “No way is he 25!” Another added, “I thought he was like 18 tops!” The casting really threw people off—in the best way, of course. Pierre’s youthful look clearly worked in his favor, and now people are more intrigued than ever about what’s next for his character.
Even more exciting? Max Branning, played by Jake Wood, is set to return later this year. Jake’s already hinted that Max has “a lot of unfinished business,” and we all know what that means—drama, secrets, and plenty of chaos. Add in Oscar’s return and the tensions with his parents, and it feels like we’re gearing up for one explosive family storyline.
Pierre Moullier has called joining EastEnders “pretty surreal,” and he’s teased that Oscar is a “complex guy” with a lot going on beneath the surface. Judging by the way Oscar’s been stirring things up already—trying to scam Ian Beale with a fake fall, no less—it looks like he’s going to be one of those characters who keeps everyone on their toes.
It's not just about shock value either. Oscar’s storyline is touching on some deeper themes—family estrangement, second chances, and maybe even redemption. Watching him awkwardly try to reconnect with Lauren, and seeing how Jack Branning and others respond to him, gives us a glimpse of a character trying to find his place in a community that barely remembers him.
So yeah, Oscar’s return is a big deal—and not just because the actor looks way younger than he is. It’s a fresh new arc for a legacy character, and with Max’s comeback looming, we’re likely in for some serious Branning drama. EastEnders never misses a beat when it comes to family tension, and I, for one, can’t wait to see where this all goes.
