Daniel Kaluuya On Playing Black Panther Party Chairman Fred Hampton In ‘Judas And The Black Messiah’: “The Biggest Version Of Me Had To Show Up”

: Oh, so much prep. So much prep. I just worked on it with Audrey LeCrone, my dialect coach, who’s amazing. I asked her, “Please be honest. I want to feel confident when I’m out there.” We just drilled it every day. This is like a couple months before the shoot, every day we just drilled it, drilled it, drilled it. I watched footage or listened to audio. And then I would record the session, and then listen to it back when I was at the gym, and then go back and then mend stuff bit by bit.

: Yeah. 1000%. If I’m being brutally honest, it’s a huge weight, a huge responsibility. And he’s a huge man, he’s a huge spirit. His words were big. The biggest version of me had to show up, in order for me to even hold the words in the way that they needed or were warranted.: Yeah. I think there was a lot of unpacking and untying my way out of it, especially at the beginning of the pandemic. It was like, “Okay, you went to a serious place there.

DEADLINE: It’s hard not to think of Breonna Taylor, when you watch those scenes of Fred Hampton being killed in his home while he sleeps, by the FBI. The films you’re in seem to have an eerie timeliness and resonance to them.: What I go out to find is the truth. And how do you tell the truth? I think that’s what art is, it’s articulating and visualizing things that people are too scared to say normally. Just say it and going, “This is it.” How it resonates as a result, is just to do with timing.

: Lakeith is an incredible performer, and an incredible soul, and knowing that he was a part of it, I was like, oh yeah, I’m in the right place. We workshopped a lot of the scenes in rehearsals, and obviously in the read through, and it just built, built, built. But we honored each other’s processes at the same time.
