Personal life

Campbell's maternal grandparents ran a theatre company in the Netherlands and his paternal grandparents were also performers.

Campbell's parents divorced when he was three years old. His siblings are actress Neve Campbell, actor Alex Campbell, and Damian McDonald.[1] He and sister Neve resided largely with their father (who received custody of the two), with regular periods at their mother's home.
