Jamie Bell Grapples With Fatherhood In ‘All Of Us Strangers’, Prepares To Tap Into Fred Astaire, And Is Ready For “Action” As A Director

With Haigh’s encouragement, they played through each take in full, iterating on it each time, lifting it from the page into such a real, emotional crescendo that even members of the typically stoic British film crew were fighting back tears. In the near quarter-century since Billy Elliot, Bell has forged an acting career most would envy, having worked with directors like Thomas Vinterberg, Peter Jackson, Clint Eastwood and Bong Joon-ho.
