David Jonsson, a rising star nominated for a BAFTA, reflects on his rapid ascent in the acting world since his debut in 2018. Known for various roles including a romcom protagonist and an ambitious hedge fund manager, Jonsson's upcoming projects include a collaboration with Frank Ocean. He shares his thoughts on recognition within the acting community, expressing how such accolades affirm that his work is being noticed. Despite family support in campaigning for his nomination, he emphasizes his focus on work over fame, showcasing a grounded perspective on his career.
As an actor you're doing what feels right. I'm aware it's in the public eye, but when you get things like this, you realise people were paying attention.
It's a funny thing: it's when people choose to notice you, which I don't tend to pay too much attention to.
My family went a bit crazy with it - they're very 'vote David'. But with Marisa and Mikey and the others, it's a wonderful cohort to be part of.
He's thoughtful, funny, passionate and annoyingly sensible about what he can (and can't) say about the stack of upcoming films he's got lined up.
