Lost In The Cedar Wood

Like those gatekeepers of Queen and Bowie, he briefly pondered his legacy (“Some of the songs I wrote when I was 20 years old…”), but in the end said yes on one condition: under no circumstances, he told them, would he play the lead role. They agreed. It went to Poulter instead.

Flynn got into Webber Douglas – a prestigious but unglamorous London drama school – just before his father died. Flynn thinks, he says, that his father would have ultimately been OK with that, even if he would have preferred his son had won a place at the more well-known Rada, from which he’d graduated. In 2019, he starred as David Bowie in the drama Stardust, based on a screenplay by Christopher Bell and directed by Gabriel Range.

Flynn was born on 14 March 1983 in Johannesburg, South Africa, the son of Eric Flynn, a British actor and singer, and Caroline Forbes. [3] He has a younger sister, Lillie Flynn, who sings with the Sussex Wit, and from his father's first marriage he has two older half-brothers, actors Jerome Flynn and Daniel Flynn, and an older half-sister, Kerry Flynn. [4] At the age of two, he moved with his family to the UK. [3] No, he says. If anything, it’s helped his career. “I started playing morally dubious characters a few years ago, and it was such a relief, as I’d [previously] gone down the route of always being chosen to be the youthful, sunny type… The fact that my scars now help me to get more ambiguous casting? I’m really grateful.” Brotherhood... coming soon to Comedy Central". Comedycentral.co.uk. Archived from the original on 26 May 2015 . Retrieved 24 October 2017. As with all his roles now, Flynn didn’t so much think of his latest part’s character, but about his rhythm: the tempo and pace with which he moves. It might be an unconventional approach to performance, but to hear Flynn talk about it, it’s obvious – at least to him. “I love breaking down characters in terms of rhythm because rhythm is a thing that defines us,” he says. “The way we move is how we meet the world.” Double trouble: Johnny Flynn (right) in The Score, a musical heist featuring his songs and co-starring Will Poulter (left). Photograph: LMKFlynn remembers his first school leading role – a one-act Harold Pinter play called The Lover consisting of just him and a co-star. He remembers the thrill of it; the intensity of acting. His father had come to watch, and Flynn ran towards him after the show, eager for approval. “And I remember for 10 minutes him talking about how amazing [his co-star] Tasha was. And then he turned to me and said: ‘You need to keep your hands still.’”

I’m making him sound incredibly cruel,” Flynn says, “he was very loving… there was an honesty to him. He was nothing but honest. He expected you to understand you had a handicap and the best you could do was do better than last time. It involved doing a lot of maths as a kid.”
