Actor Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù isn’t looking for one big breakout role, but with his quietly authoritative turn in Akinola Davies’s My Father’s Shadow, he’s leaving an indelible mark on the cultural imagination. The first Nigerian film to secure official selection at Cannes, it’s already revered and history-making ahead of its theatrical release. For the British-Nigerian actor, it was a chance to foster his connection to his heritage. 

Covering our Autumn/Winter 2025 issue, he talks the indie coming-of-age drama,  immersing himself in the big-budget landscape of his debut American project (Black Rabbit), the “Shakespearean” world of his TV breakthrough Gangs of London and boasting a physique that’s inspired Bond rumours.
