Johnny Flynn Facts
- He had shifted to England at the age of 2 and started living in Hampshire.
- He has disclosed that he has been a huge admirer of what the BBC has termed as “light-ent”. As his father as well as various members of his family have worked in comedy, and he himself has done sitcoms, he has perceived a great art to it. He has relished having some high-brow friends who have been hilarious about certain things, and he has seen that there is a lot of artistry to getting the slapstick thing. He has loved well-written comedies and has thoroughly enjoyed the movie Clueless.
- Johnny has attempted to keep the two worlds of acting and music separate, in order to try and maintain his integrity with both, and be taken seriously as an actor as well as a musician. He has revealed that he has gradually felt secure enough about crossing over, and has cherished it when it has happened such as in the film Emma (2020) when he was able to pen the love song to Emma from the perspective of George Knightley.
- Flynn has got emotional watching many films and scenes like the last one in Withnail has brought him to tears. He has marveled at how touching and poignant the moment is when Marwood has gone off for his acting work and Withnail is there, by the fence of London Zoo doing his Hamlet soliloquy, while the wolves are walking around.
