Biography

Originaire de Portlaoise, en Irlande, Robert Sheehan est le fils de Maria et Joe Sheehan. Né Robert Michael Sheehan, il a décidé d'ajouter Adam afin de se faire connaître comme Robert Michael Adam Sheehan. Il est le plus jeune d'une famille de trois enfants. À l'âge de quatorze ans, sa mère l'a emmené à sa première audition pour le film, Song for a Raggy Boy, et a été choisi pour le rôle, qui a été tourné pendant trois mois dans l'ouest de Cork. Il déclare qu'il reste toujours en contact avec quelques-uns des garçons du film, et décrit le tournage comme une aventure. À seize ans, il a interprété le garçon paralysé à Cripple des Innishmaan produit par Open Door Productions, et déclare qu'il n'y a rien de mieux que le théâtre.

À l'âge de 17 ans, il a étudié à l'Institut de Technologie de Galway-Mayo, mais au bout d'un an, il a arrêté ses cours de cinéma et de télévision décidant que la vie derrière la caméra n'était pas pour lui. Cependant, malgré l'absence de formation professionnelle, en dehors de groupes de théâtre locaux, il lui a été offert un certain nombre de rôles mineurs. Il a expliqué par la suite : « Je ne suis pas sûr de vouloir être un acteur. Je tiens à aller au collège, mais je n'ai aucune envie d'étudier l'art dramatique. Mais je tiens à le faire pour voir où cela me mènera, je vais donc continuer. Je n'ai jamais vraiment fait de plans pour mon avenir. Mais si je peux obtenir un peu d'emploi, je vous en serais reconnaissant. C'est véritablement très amusant et merveilleusement enrichissant pour un jeune comme moi. Je continuerai aussi longtemps que je recevrai du travail. »

Il dit de ses parents qu'ils étaient merveilleux et toujours favorables à sa carrière. Sa mère était pratiquement son manager dans les premiers jours, ainsi que son chauffeur, le conduisant toujours vers de nouvelles auditions et de nouveaux décors de cinéma.
