Besides being an Oscar-winning producer, Matthew is the founder of Freud Communications, a PR firm based in the UK.

Jonah’s mother, Caroline, is a public relations specialist. After getting divorced from Matthew, she married Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer. However, in 2007, she parted ways with Charles Spencer. Jonah is the great-great-grandson of Sigmund Freud.

Jonah Freud's literary works

Jonah Freud’s 2020 novel Loss & Hope gained a lot of attention. He collaborated with Lola Bute to develop the story of Loss & Hope. The duo, in an interview with ShowStudio, opened up about their novel. Jonah shared the initial idea for the book, which was developed. Jonah mentioned that when he was hit by a sudden loss, he felt that he was handling the grief in the 'wrong' way. However, his perspective changed when he talked with others about the same thing. He was quoted as saying:

"I found that when I was hit by sudden loss, and subsequently afterwards, when I was faced with grief, that I kept feeling like I was grieving wrong. The more I spoke to people, the more I found they felt the same thing. I realised that everyone had effectively lost someone close to them to suicide. None of them had ever told me about it; it was this horrible little secret members' club that you only got initiated into when it happened to you; it wasn't something you spoke about otherwise."
