Raised on the income of a psychologist and a public servant, Liv Hewson attended Alfred Deakin High School, where they graduated from before they applied and attended Canberra College.
Considering no one in their family had any connection to acting or performance art as a whole, it is hard to determine how they came to fall in love with the art and pursue it as a career choice. They did, however, mention they spent their childhood days watching American shows and films, such as The Simpsons and Futurama, through which they developed an American accent that has helped them in their career thus far. As part of their interest in acting, they acted in a lot of local productions in the Canberra Youth Theatre.
