‘Femme’ Star George MacKay Spent Eight Weeks Bulking Up to Become a Violent Street Thug in the Queer Revenge Thriller: ‘It’s an Animal Thing’
"1917" star George MacKay spent eight weeks bulking up to transform into a violent street thug in the queer revenge thriller "Femme."
George MacKay became one Hollywood’s most sought after young actors after his starring role as a sweet-faced solider in Sam Mendes’ Oscar-winning “1917.” But he’s looking much different in his latest film, “ Femme.” He stars in the queer revenge thriller from directors Sam H.
