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.

He is best known for his exposé of the disgraced Harvey Weinstein

Farrow arguably had his biggest career break when The New Yorker won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for public service for his reporting on the alleged sexual misconduct of film producer Harvey Weinstein. The magazine shared the award with The New York Times for Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey’s own reporting on the Hollywood bombshell.

The hard-hitting writer has also served the US government in specialised roles. According to The New York Times, Farrow spent two years as their special adviser for humanitarian and NGO affairs in the Office of the Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan. He also served under the Obama administration starting in 2009.

In 2011, the former youth ambassador was appointed by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as special adviser for global youth issues and director of the State Department’s global youth Issues office.

He’s written books and proposed to his partner through one of its drafts

As a multifaceted contributor to society, Farrow has also published books under his name. In 2018, he wrote War on Peace: The End of Diplomacy and the Decline of American Influence and Pandora’s Box: How American Military Aid Creates America’s Enemies. A year later, he would write Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators, which has already inspired an HBO Max docuseries.

Per Vulture, Farrow proposed to his long-time partner and former Obama speech-writer Jon Lovett through a draft of Catch and Kill. “I’d send him a draft, and put in a question, right on this page: ‘Marriage? On the moon or even here on earth,’” he shared.

He has a fun and lighter side to him

For all his accomplishments, Farrow has never been shy about candidly sharing his personality too, especially on social media.

According to The Wrap, he once trolled his dad on Father’s Day in a now-deleted tweet saying, “Happy Father’s Day – or as they call it in my family, happy brother-in-law’s day.” For those who don’t know, Allen, Farrow’s biological father, was embroiled in multiple sexual abuse allegations involving his adopted children. He ended up marrying his ex’s adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn, when she was 21, and he was 56.

And in one of his birthday greetings to his partner Lovett, he called the podcaster a straight shooter respected on all sides. “He’s OK, I guess,” the Pulitzer-winning writer said in jest.
