Early life
Anders was born in New York City on December 22, 2003, to British actress Kate Winslet and British film director Sam Mendes.[2][4] His parents divorced in 2010, when he was six years old. He has an older half-sister from his mother's first marriage, Mia Threapleton, and a younger half-brother from his mother's third marriage.[2] His father identifies as a secular Jew.[5] His paternal grandfather, Jameson Peter Mendes, was a Roman Catholic University professor[6] of Portuguese descent from Trinidad and Tobago,[7][5] and his paternal grandmother, novelist Valerie Mendes, is an English Jew.[8] His paternal great-grandfather was the Trinidadian writer Alfred Mendes.[7] His step-father is Edward Abel Smith, former head of marketing promotion and astronaut experience at Virgin Group and the nephew of business mogul Richard Branson.[9]
Anders grew up between New York City and England.[10][11] He moved with his mother and half-sister from New York City to England in 2010 in order to avoid paparazzi,[12] and since 2013 they have lived in West Wittering, Sussex.[13]

In 2019, Anders made his feature film debut as Private Willock in the war drama 1917, directed by his father, Sam Mendes. He was credited as "Joe Mendes" in the film.[14]
In 2022, he changed his stage name to Joe Anders and had a small part in the Channel 4 television drama film I Am Ruth (2022), directed by Dominic Savage, appearing alongside his mother Kate Winslet and his sister Mia Threapleton, portraying their son and brother, respectively.[15]
In 2023, Anders had a small part as an American soldier in the biographical war drama Lee directed by Ellen Kuras,[16] and had his first leading role in the musical coming-of-age romantic comedy Bonus Track,[17] directed by Julia Jackman.[4][18] For his performance in Bonus Track, he was longlisted for the British Independent Film Awards in the Breakthrough Performance category, but did not get the nomination.[19]
