Note The target article needs to be in bold font in the hook. As the target article title is in italic font, it needs to use italic font in the hook, too. Schwede66 04:50, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
"when he was under the age of 18" is a rather odd phrasing and somewhat broad (the lead says ages 10–15, so perhaps "in his teenage years", or something similar, is better). Aza24 (talk) 03:01, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

Teens start at 13, so that doesn't really make sense – I'd go with "as a young boy". article awaits full review. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 15:41, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Overall: Article passed GA nomination on May 21 and nominated within seven days. Length is adequate. Article meets sourcing requirements, and is neutral in tone. No plagiarism issues were detected. Images used in the article are all public domain on the Commons. QPQ requirement is complete. The proposed hooks are interesting to a broad audience, mentioned and cited in the article. AGF on sources I cannot access The wording of the hook might be improved by using "when he was a schoolboy" as mentioned in the introduction of the article, otherwise "as a young boy" is also sufficient. The promoter can choose. Flibirigit (talk) 13:20, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
