The Italian odyssey La Chimera, now in theaters, and next month’s sexy tennis drama, Challengers, pushed O’Connor to places he’d never been before—including the gym.
After spending an hour with O’Connor, it’s clear these traits also align with him. The British actor best known for originating the role of Charles in The Crown, to Emmy- and Golden Globe–winning acclaim, is graduating to movie-star status this spring with his double bill in La Chimera and Challengers, the latter of which hits theaters on April 26. He demonstrates startling range in each film, and arguably steals both.
Which is very arrogant of me to think, but I guess it worked out. What about her style felt made for you? Those fairy tales we grow up with as kids—I’d hear them read to me by my parents and I’d be like, “God, imagine if that was actually real.” Alice gives us our modern-day fairy tales, but they are so grounded in real human feeling. La Chimera is about faith and trauma and fear and heartbreak, and all of those things are very real emotions—she puts them into this magically realistic state.
