I felt that thing of not wanting to confront your demons, which I think is true for a lot of black men. There’s a lot of black men running around with crazy trauma scars and they should be going to therapy. They should be sitting down and talking to people. But they can’t. If you’ve got the armour of being a man, and the armour of being a black man, that hyper-masculine thing can make those scars deeper.
Awarded BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Judas and the Black Messiah (2021).
