After a hectic year with Challengers, Cannes and the Chopard Trophy, Mike Faist is taking time off to work on his own screenplay.

— It’s been a busy spring for Mike Faist. First came love, lust and tennis drama “Challengers,” costarringand Josh O’Connor put him not only in the center of an on-screen love triangle but also of the media frenzy surrounding the film.Kelly Rowland Channels Ethereal Glamour, Elsa Hosk Goes Dramatic in Prabal Gurung and More Looks From 'Le Comte de Monte-Cristo' Cannes Red Carpet Premiere

Faist recognizes the Trophée Chopard has gone to some stellar names: Gael Garcia Bernal, James McAvoy, John Boyega, Kingsley Ben-Adir, to name a few since its inception in 2001. “It’s a mind trick,” he continues. “So getting on a red carpet, you’re actually not hiding behind a character. You’re just you, and that’s an awful feeling.”

Notice that he’s on a first name basis with one on that list, specifically Spielberg, who he worked with in “West Side Story.” “I felt very lost, and I wasn’t sure whether or not I was really able to do the play. I didn’t feel like I had a way in. Then I watched that movie, I watched his performance, and said, ‘OK, I think I have a way.’”“They’re extremely informative in terms of feeding my own work and using it and taking it and scrambling it up a little bit and projecting it out there,” Faist says.
