  • Daniel Kaluuya joins British GQ as he revisits some of the most notable TV & Film characters in his career so far: from playing Hobie Brown (Spider-Punk) in ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ to his role as Bing in Fifteen Million Merits of Netflix’s ‘Black Mirror.’
    “For me it was realising that it’s not an impersonation, it’s an interpretation. I’m not him, and that’s okay,” the British actor explains of his role as Fred Hampton in ‘Judas and the Black Messiah.’ “It’s [about] embodying what he represents - how does he make me feel when watching him? And how do I make others feel like that?” Watch the full episode of British GQ’s Iconic Characters, as Daniel Kaluuya breaks down his most iconic roles in TV & Film.

    For the people upset about Nope, Black Panther, and Get Out not being talked about, i feel you. However; this was a British GQ interview so they clearly emphasized his work in the UK/with UK filmmakers mainly, minus a couple. I also would've loved those discussions.

    • @giantpunda2911
      @giantpunda2911 Před 3 měsíci +25

      Just seems so weird to leave out so many of these other ones he's more known for but keep in the Spiderverse one. I haven't even heard of half the movies/shows referenced.

      Many probably know him from Skins but Doctor Who was my first time seeing him. Then when I saw BM, I recognised him from that. Doctor Who has a bit of a track record of featuring actors before they hit really big.

    I can understand not including his work on Black Panther and Nope, but y'all didn't have him talk about Get Out? For real? That role is what helped solidify him as a household name. Chris Washington is an amazing horror protag and he did such an amazing job with a role that a lot of other actors would've struggled with. Especially the upside down scene with the single tear. Flawless.
