He was born in Lagos State, Nigeria to Olawale Edun and Amy Adwoa.
He moved to the United Kingdom at the age of 11 where attended Eton College from the age of 13. He started his acting career while he was still in the college. In 2009, he became only the second black actor to play Romeo at the Globe Theatre.
Edun has also appeared in several television shows. In 2009, he appeared in an episode of The Fixer. He appeared as Elyan in three episodes, and was upgraded to a recurring character in series four.

It takes a lot of hard work and determination to take such step. He has actually made Nigeria and the entire continent of Africa proud.
