“Honestly, Who Cares About Acting?”: Mike Faist on The Bikeriders, Challengers and Hollywood Fatigue

After filming wrapped on Challengers, Luca Guadagnino’s recent sexy drama about a tennis-playing love triangle, Mike Faist — who, along with Zendaya and Josh O’Connor, forms the entangled trio — decided to take a break. The 32-year-old actor, who splits his time between New York and Ohio, had planned to drive around the US with his dog and spend time with his friends and family, to “allow myself to be bored”, as he puts it. But then, director Jeff Nichols called.

“I was nervous about going into that process, because of the Spielberg of it all, and because of the Hollywood of it all,” Faist says now. But it turned out to be an “awakening”: “Steven never made me feel I needed to ask permission to do anything. It was more just, ‘What do you have to offer today?’” In Challengers, Faist continued to make just what he has to offer perfectly clear.
