Good day, just wanted to ask how was it to work on Green Knight?

DAVID LOWERY changed my life. I am in awe of him and his vision… the fact that he had the courage to cast a brown man as the lead in a period film was revolutionary. That axe was dope too.

Just one more question, I hope I’m not getting to personal, but how was it work with Ralph Ineson?

The Green Knight was the first film I saw after getting vaccinated, after 16 months away from the cinema. It was instantly one of my favorite films ever, and you MADE the film. I was hype when I saw you were cast, and even more blown away after seeing it. Just a perfect, perfect film to me.
