Talking All About La Chimera with Josh O'Connor | Popcorn Chat

Hello and welcome back to the channel!
I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to sit down and interview the amazing Josh O'Connor, who I've been a fan of his filmography for a long long time.
We chatted about his latest film La Chimera which I absolutely adored, as well as touching upon his other current release Challengers as well as The Crown.
A massive thank you to ‪@Curzon‬ and ‪@watershedbristol‬ for allowing for this interview to happen.

Caught La Chimera last night and can’t believe this is the same guy! What a transformative actor and a timeless film to boot.

[@PopcornChat]

such a talented and mouldable actor!

[@moon04star]

promoting movies back to back! rooting for him

[@DidYouZThat]

This is a fantastic interview and Josh really seemed like an open book with some incredibly detailed answers and overall seems like a lovely person 🙂
Congrats Sarah, massive achievement and well deserved 🙂

[@PopcornChat]

Thanks Mike! I felt like we could have talked for longer! I appreciate the kind words 😊

[@og9656]

it may be weird to say because he is 34 but... he's so cute?! like what do you meannnnn embroidery!! :(( thats so cute. I've seen La Chimera, Challengers and God's Own Country as of now, I'm impressed so far and can't wait to see more of him. Such a nice chill interview, great stuff!

[@PopcornChat]

It's worth checking out some of his TV roles too!

[@LuisOliva95]

Wow this guy is an amazing actor. Comparing him to his characters in both La Chimera and Challengers feels like watching 3 completely different people.

[@o-manhe-man1353]

I only learned today that Josh grew up in my hometown Cheltenham and actually went to school a 10 minute walk away from my house where I had swimming lessons as a kid 🤯

[@PopcornChat]

That's very cool!

[@C20thFlicks]

He had me at embroidery, gardening and ceramics. Sealed the deal with the Dylan love. Lovely guy. Great job Sarah! xx

[@PopcornChat]

He's just great isn't he!?

[@lloydmcneill-xm4oh]

Josh is a SUPERB actor knew nothing of him before Challengers and La Chimera - he was absolutely excellent in both - two very different roles which he embodies so convincinly. Also seems like the nicest chap very gracious and humble
Edit: Great interview by the by!

[@hollywooddarling]

What a wonderful interview! Josh looks really cozy in that shirt and matching socks haha. I really loved the questions, especially the last one about working with a female filmmaker and crew. Loved Josh's answers too, incredibly thoughtful and shows such a real passion for cinema and understanding of the craft.

[@PopcornChat]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! He has got a clear love for storytelling in his roles.

[@alisonwilliams6215]

Great interview. Josh was very honest and open. We'll done Sarah

[@PopcornChat]

Thank you!

[@alexr87646]

Amazing interview with some really well thought-out questions. Josh seems so lovely!

[@PopcornChat]

Thank you! He was so lovely!

[@tamasg538]

Doesn't give the media trained script, great interview

[@MoreMovies4u]

Fantastic interview, Sarah! Josh is a really interesting chap. I haven't seen La Chimera or Challengers yet! Ahhhh! Need to get on these movies. So pleased that you got to meet him and have a chat, well deserved. Your questions were thoughtful and interesting and you can tell Josh thought that too. You brought some insightful things out of him. I was on a few episodes of The Crown when Josh was Prince Charles a few years ago, that was my first experience of him. It's great to see him go on to make an impact with his more recent work. Awesome vid, deserves squillions of views!

[@PopcornChat]

Thank you so much! There both great films, very different but it just shows his range of talent. That's cool you were on The Crown! Hahaa I appreciate it 😅

[@lundi44]

Great interview. He’s one of my favourite young actors - supremely talented with great range.

[@PopcornChat]

Thank you very much! Young? He's older than me! 😅

[@lundi44]

@@PopcornChat You’re both young, then!

[@downinthewaves]

lovely and great interview! i feel like you could've talked with him for hours, he seems so charming and smart, nice thought out answers

[@PopcornChat]

I really could have!

[@Snuff-Film-Director]

Really great questions! How wonderful an interview.

[@huh5912]

One of my bucket list is to have a signature of known artist that gave a heavy influence on my life tattoed on my back. Josh O'connor is one of the few, his performance on God's own country was so powerful and emotional. I've rewatched it more than 30 times and never get bored of it. I hope I can meet him irl just to say thankyou for existing 😄 and his signature ofcourse.

[@pinky4842]

great interview!

[@ShallISeeIt]

Great interview!

[@TheTeacupsandsaucers]

Such a good interview! Interesting questions and josh was really engaging which helped

[@PopcornChat]

[@toniozi666]

wish that'd have been 1 hour long, good questions, and amazing answers !

[@lamzy4683]

not even 30 seconds into this interview I can tell I’ll love it

[@PopcornChat]

That's amazing to hear thank you!

[@GameOverMovieReviews]

Brilliant work Sarah, you're an absolute natural and you can see how at ease Josh is which is always the sign of a good interviewer.
