‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ Breakout Arthur Conti on Starring Alongside Jenna Ortega in His First Film Role: ‘It’s Hard to Believe’
'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' breakout Arthur Conti discusses starring alongside Jenna Ortega in the Brit actor's first film role: 'It's hard to believe'
Getting such an enviable role in the much-hyped return from a cult filmmaker alongside one of Hollywood’s newest leading ladies (and a Gen-Z it girl) sounds like it all came about frightening easily, perhaps adding to Conti’s sense of bewilderment at his current situation. Although Conti didn’t expect to hear anything — if at all — for some time, just two hours after the video call he was told the part was his (something he notes occurred on April Fool’s Day, leading him to initially think it was a practical joke). Should Conti’s upward trajectory continue in anywhere near the sort of form it has over the last year, it shouldn’t be too long before much of this world — from fashion to agents to film festivals to red carpets to interviews at Soho House — is all second nature and nothing to even raise an eyebrow over.
