Ralf Little parents, Eileen and Michael, tried their best to help other children pass that trauma!
Ralf Little was born on February 8, 1980, in Oldham, United Kingdom, to Eileen and Michael, his accountant parents. He had three other siblings: two sisters, Rowena and Ceridwen, and one brother, Ross Little.
However, in 1987, tragedy struck the Little family when they went camping in Cornwall.
Ralf Little’s elder sister, Cera, 13 years at the time, fell off the 150-foot cliff, which took her life away. At the time of the tragic incident, Ralf Little was just nine years old.
In a conversation with Reverend Richard Coles on Radio 4, he said, “It was devastating. It’s incredibly difficult to recover from something like that, particularly as parents.”
He further added, “Out of everyone in the family, I was the one that was affected least because I was nine years old. Kids are quite resilient anyway, but I just had stuff to get on with.” Ralf Little took the devastating incident as fuel to strive for success.
Moreover, the BBC’s D*ath of Paradise actor, Ralf Little, also partly blamed the incident for his parents’ divorce.
Nevertheless, Ralf Little parents, Eileen and Michael, always supported their children and told them they could achieve anything if they wanted it enough.
The actor is grateful to his parents, who encouraged him to follow his passion for acting.
When asked if he had a happy childhood, Ralf Little said, “The answer is yes because my parents did everything they possibly could, and we were never under the impression that we weren’t loved.”
