Madekwe plays gamer-turned-drive Jann Mardenborough in the true story.
The Big Picture Gran Turismo tells the story of Jann Mardenborough, a teenage gamer living in Cardiff, Wales, who was given the opportunity of a lifetime to take part in the GT Academy, a program run in collaboration with Nissan designed to take a video game player and put them behind the wheel of a real racing car, and become a professional driver.
"Everyone was, number one, very jealous, and number two, everyone wanted to join in and come and help me prepare for work," said Madekwe with a laugh.
"And it was this unbelievable opportunity to look past the shame of wasting the day, and being like, “I'm at work, I'm doing something productive. This is so great!” I could tap into what Jann was feeling, of being like, “This is actually leading to something, this is great. It's not just me playing The Sims for six hours, like, I'm doing something. I'm doing something constructive!” [Laughs] So, I mean, it was a dream come true. I love it.
