Personal Life and Social Media

Thomson is married to Laurie Matheson and they have two children together. Very few details have been shared about his wife and their family, as he prefers to keep their privacy intact and away from the spotlight. Despite all of his public activity, he enjoys taking background roles, serving as a director for film and theatrical productions. He’s also worked on numerous stage productions, mostly centered in Canada. He is considered one of the leading actors in the country.

One of the reasons why there is very limited information about him is due to the lack of any strong online presence. He does not have accounts on any of the major social media websites Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. He has mainly kept to himself, and this is one of the reasons a lot of people speculate on his endeavors away from acting. A lot of people thought that he had retired from acting work, but in truth, he has just concentrated more on his work in Canada, as opposed to working on international projects, preferring to be closer to home with his loved ones.
