Matthew Allard de Vere Drummond (born Matthew Allard Robert Vaughn; 7 March 1971)
is an English film producer, director, and screenwriter.
He is best known for producing such films as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)
and Snatch (2000) and directing the films Layer Cake (2004), Stardust (2007),
Kick-Ass (2010), X-Men: First Class (2011), Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014),
and its sequel Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017).
Vaughn was born in London.
He had thought that he was the child of an affair between his mother,
Kathy Ceaton (died 20 July 2013), and American actor Robert Vaughn.
A paternity investigation subsequently identified his father as
George Albert Harley de Vere Drummond,
an English aristocrat who is a godson of King George VI.
Early in Vaughn's life, before the paternity investigation,
Robert Vaughn asked for the child's surname to be Vaughn,
and it continues today as Vaughn's professional name,
though he now uses de Vere Drummond in his personal life.
