Max Harwood on Everybody’s Talking About Jamie and Working with Richard E. Grant on His First Day

From director Jonathan Butterell and inspired by true events, the musical dramedy Everybody’s Talking About Jamie follows Jamie New (newcomer Max Harwood, who gives a fabulously standout performance), a teenager in a blue collar English town who dreams of a big and showy life as a fierce drag queen. Although not everyone is so quick to embrace Jamie for who he is, he does have the support of his best friend Pritti (Lauren Patel) and his mom (Sarah Lancashire), as well as local drag legend Miss Loco Chanelle (Richard E. Grant) who helps him understand the freedom in truly expressing his voice.
During this 1-on-1 interview with Collider, which you can both watch and read, Harwood talked about his journey to becoming a professional actor, his reaction to learning that he’d gotten the lead role, adjusting to life on set, how much fun he had working with co-star Grant, shooting the emotional duet with Lancashire, learning tricks for successfully walking in heels, and his desire to do a superhero movie.
