Jagger was born to Joe and Eva Jagger on July 26, 1943 in Dartford, Kent, England. He discovered early rock & roll music during his teenage years and formed the band Little Boy Blue & the Blue Boys. In his late teens, he met up with future Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, who he had initially met when both attended the Dartford Maypole County Primary School. They started the band shortly after, due to their mutual love of rock & roll and blues music.
Jagger attended the London School of Economics.
Jagger's first child, Karis (by singer Marsha Hunt), was born in 1970. In May 1971 he married Bianca Perez Morena de Macias, and she gave birth to their daughter Jade while the band recorded "Sticky Fingers," one of their most popular albums to date. During this Jagger also appeared in films such as "Performance" in 1970.
He has also appeared in the following movies:
- Mayor of the Sunset Strip, 2003
- The Man from Elysian Fields, 2001
- Enigma, 2001
- Mein liebster Feind (aka My Best Fiend)- with Klaus Kinski 1999
- Bent, 1997
- Freejack, 1992
- D Wings of Ash: Pilot for a Dramatization of the Life of Antonin Artaud 1978
- Umano non umano 1972
- Ned Kelly 1970
- Performance 1970
Mick Jagger was knighted on 12 December 2003, for his "services to popular music" . His fellow rolling stone Keith Richards was unimpressed. "I thought it was ludicrous to take one of those gongs from the establishment...it's not what the Stones is about, is it? I don't want to step out on stage with someone wearing a fucking coronet and sporting the old ermine. I told Mick, 'It's a fucking paltry honour.'"
