‘Back to Black’ Star Jack O’Connell on Playing Amy Winehouse’s Ex-Husband Blake Fielder-Civil: ‘I Understood the Type of Geezer That He Is’
Jack O'Connell talks playing Blake Fielder-Civil, Amy Winehouse's ex-husband, in biopic 'Back to Black.'
This raw authenticity and depth has been a calling card for O’Connell since the very start of his career, even before his TV breakout as the womanizing bad boy Cook on hit teen series “Skins” (a show that also introduced audiences to Dev Patel, Daniel Kaluuya, Nicholas Hoult and Kaya Scodelario). He appeared as a hostage-taker alongside George Clooney and Julia Roberts in 2016 crime thriller “Money Monster,” a man executed for murdering his children in 2018’s “Trial by Fire” with Laura Dern, an undercover FBI agent in the 2019 Kristen Stewart-starring “Seberg” and as British racing driver Peter Collins in Michael Mann’s “Ferrari” last year. Of late, O’Connell has been seen more frequently on TV, starring in Andrew Haigh’s arctic miniseries “The North Water,” Netflix’s adaptation of “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” and Steven Knight’s military period series “SAS: Rogue Heroes” (Season 2 is set for launch on the BBC later this year).
