Himesh Patel: It has been a wonderful few years

A still from Don’t Look Up

Cambridgeshire-born Indian-origin actor Himesh Patel has worked with top filmmakers such as Danny Boyle, Christopher Nolan, Tom Harper and the most recent with Adam McKay in Netflix’s Don’t Look Up.

The actor, 31, feels proud of the opportunity to work with the stalwarts of the industry and his journey in the world of acting. He first starred in the Boyle’s Yesterday. He was later seen in The Astronaut, Tenet and his most recent release is Netflix’s Don’t Look Up. “I am very proud of the fact that I have managed to work with several filmmakers that I admire. It has been a wonderful few years. Hopefully, I [get to]continue working with great filmmakers [in the future],” he added. The satirical science fiction black comedy Don’t Look Up tells the story of two low-level astronomers, who must go on a giant media tour to warn mankind of an approaching comet that will destroy earth.

Patel revealed why it was important to tackle the film with humour. “I think, when it comes to [delivering] a message for a movie like this, comedy is the most powerful way to put the point across. People [may] think they are watching a comedy specially with a name like Adam [director]. But there are moments of powerful and dramatic sequences. So, it can make an impact,” he added. The film also features Jennifer Lawrence, Leonardo DiCaprio, Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill and Timothee Chalamet.
