Josh O’Connor keeps rising in Hollywood, becoming one of the most sought-after actors after starring in two high-profile films this year: Luca Guadagnino’s sports drama “Challengers” and Alice Rohrwacher’s drama “La Chimera.”
The Emmy-winning actor, however, isn’t slowly down anytime soon, as he has already booked several upcoming projects. Among them, probably the most anticipated is Rian Johnson’s third ‘Knives Out’ mystery film.
However, fans of the actor don’t have to wait long to watch him again on the big screen as he is part of the cast of ‘Lee,’ an upcoming drama starring Kate Winslet. The film, helmed by Ellen Kuras, already premiered last year during the festival season and it received good reviews. Check out more.
