‘Anora’ Breakout Mark Eidelstein On Impressing Sean Baker With a Nude Self Tape, Being Called the ‘Russian Timothée Chalamet’ (EXCLUSIVE)


'Anora' breakout Mark Eidelstein discusses first English role, impressing Sean Baker with a nude self tape, being called the Russian Timothée Chalamet

In Sean Baker ‘s raucous comedy “ Anora,” the young Russian actor plays Ivan, the hilariously energetic, fast-living son of an oligarch happily spending his parents’ millions while decamped in their New York mansion who then falls in love with Mikey Madison’s Manhattan sex worker Ani. Madison’s star-making lead turn as Ani has undoubtedly propelled the actress, who had small roles in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and 2022’s “Scream,” into exciting new territories (there’s already been awards chatter on social media). All Eidelstein told them when he went out to shoot the film was that he would be appearing in an “American movie” with one of the stars from “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and that it would be a “romantic story.” While those facts may be true, they don’t quite capture the sheer amount of sex, drugs and violence on screen.
