TeaOm Belith is going to be very popular. In a few months, the British actor’s steely blue eyes and tossed Caesar haircut will be mixed in rooms living worldwide Netflix’s latest streaming heartthrobe, We get on leave Is Emily Henry based on Romkom BestsellerAnd essentially the fame of Blyth will take stratospheric. But Blyth itself does not seem to be phased from far away. “It will probably last for five minutes,” he shrinks. “Then I will come back to my dog to walk.”
When I meet 30 -year -old in Central London, the fleeting nature of things is a recurring subject. He is fresh from Eurosar from Paris Fashion Week – he was a special guest on the YSL show – but even the enthusiasm of that magnificent atmosphere was brief. “You are for about five minutes in this elite world and then you step back in real life,” he tells me. And when we discuss pomp when we headline one of the largest blockbusters of 2O23 – Action prequel The Hunger Games: The Bailad of Songbirds and Snake -He says it was short -lived, and “quiet very quickly”.
Blyth is remarkably given that it is becoming one of Britain’s most demanded young actors. The proof is in pudding – he is currently promoting four upcoming projects at once. He is just talking in Toronto fence – His new drama with the famous French autor Claire Dennis – and this month is to start his gritty jail film at the London Film Festival this month WasteThen there is there in January We meet …While today we are discussing plain clothesA romantic thriller who marks his most complex work to date. He comes wearing a sleek black leather jacket, dark jeans and black cowboy boots, and is a bouncy energy about him: he is a big knee-least and finger-chicker who is in full conversation, such as a man band makes music with his organs.
In plain clothesBlyth is Lucas, a young, clushed coop that is serving as an undercover policeman for NYPD in the 1990s. Lucas has been tasked to woo gay men in public bathrooms and arrest them for public indecency. The operation becomes an emotional mine, however, prepares himself for a particular person as a disputed Lucas: a closet priest Played by Russell TowwayBlyth is fantastic in the film: calm, timid and influenced, made Lucas even more impressive, which is practically silent through most parts of the film.
Proud of blyth plain clothesWhen he accepted the role, he was made aware of the historical practice of trapping the police, which includes someone to commit crime that he would not do otherwise. But he did not realize that this is a very modern practice, also: There are cases that have recently happened as this year. “NYPD has targeted people using gay dating apps, and [identified] People are publicly hovering in New York and then implicating them, “he says passionately.” It is very popular. This is happening right now, especially [under] Current US administration. “Then, the film is more than ever.
This is just a rigid world, especially for a young woman we do. Rachel Zegler takes it to chin like a champion
Blyth found Lucas doing extremely taxing. When it came to their performance, he struggled to separate his feelings from his character. “I’m usually very good trying to stay healthy [the work]”He says.” I will go home and do something else to take off my mind. But because Lucas is in such a situation of anxiety – both because he is hiding himself and his sexuality from his family, and is also hiding himself as an undercover police – I was going home in my small hotel room and feeling quite stressed. I carried out the concern that I usually do not take it. ,
Law acting is not for him, they say. “You should not take it home with your friends and family.” But sometimes you can never help it. “If you are putting yourself in a certain position every day or in a certain mentality, then your body automatically absorbs it and holds the trauma that you are putting through yourself. I was not getting enough sleep, and that is that. [Lucas] It is passing in the film. We were living a parallel life. ,
plain clothes Reminded why he came in acting in the first place. “What do you do for a living, not only a clown for rent, you know?” He laughs. “Is much more than this.” It was a small set, which was recently used. To keep it in perspective, The Bailad of Songbirds and Snake Reportedly costing 100 times the $ 1m budget plain clothes“Everyone is trapped, takes bags and boxes to cars,” he remembers. “That stuff does not happen on large sets”.
The Bailad of Songbirds and Snake Taught him not to cure the discussion around the new release. “In this era of social media, everything is hot for a minute and then the next thing comes out,” he says, his legs crossed because he leaned back to his chair. “It didn’t taught me to really buy quickly [things] Too much. And I am glad that when I was 27 years old and not when I was 19 or 20 years old. I was so, ‘I know why I do this. This is not for attention. This is for its love. ,

However, there is less demonstration, however, she has a close friendship with her Songbords and Snakes Co-star Rachehel Zagler, who says Belith is “like a younger sister”. I ask about Various public backlash Ziggler has faced in recent months – She has been vocal about her views on Israel and Palestine over racism, feminism and Trump voters, and has experienced waves of trolling and criticism as a result. Blyth says that she has taken all this to her stride. “This is just a rigid world, especially for a young woman we do,” they say. “She takes it to a chin like a champion. By doing really good work to see the middle finger of his kind … people can’t deny his talent. I am proud of him.”
While Blyth is not politically outspoken like Ziglar, I wonder if he feels any pressure to make his opinion outspoken online (after all, he has a million followers on Instagram). He likes to keep his card closer to his chest. “I am political, and very active and vocal in my personal life,” he says decisively. “I don’t always talk about it when it comes to doing this work. I don’t always ask, but I don’t get away from it. I think my work is to become an actor and while everyone does not need to shout his thoughts from the roofs all the time, I do it in my day-to-day life.”
Born in Birmingham and later he grew up in Nottingham after his parents’ divorce, Belith trained in Nottingham television workshop and then at the National Youth Theater. He achieved his first screen credit at the age of 14, who was playing a wild child in Ridley Scott Robin Hood in 2010. The same year, Blyth lost his father, a journalist and photographer who died of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Blyth has said in previous interviews that he was “angry with the world and himself after his father’s death”. It also shaped who he became.
In the last years of his life, Blyth’s father began working in the TV industry, as a producer and story editor Coronation Street And EmmardelBut he did not get a chance to carry forward his dream of working in the film. Life is fleeting, after all. “I never met him to see what he wanted to do, he really completes,” says Blyth. “This wanted me to choose that mental and did it for both of us.”
He shakes his head, slowly.
“I hold on to him when things have become difficult. I think,” I am doing it for myself, and my father. “
