Summing up the new Yorgos Lanthimos movie, Mamoudou told BuzzFeed: “It’s easy to say ‘yes’ to something, but you also have to realize you’re going to have to do it, you know?”
“Kinds Of Kindness” Stars Joe Alwyn And Mamoudou Athie On Liberating Sex Scenes, Exploring “Dark” Characters, And The “Uncomfortable” Underbelly Of Yorgos Lanthimos’s Latest Movie
“In a way, I also felt liberated from some of my, not biases, but I was certainly not going to do this with just anybody,” Mamoudou went on. “It was unlikely that I would do anything like it for anybody ever, unless it were Yorgos. That’s the only person I can really think of that I would want to do something as frightening as it was to me. So I felt kind of liberated, and even now, I’m like:
Despite his newfound confidence in the scene, the star went on to joke that it is “out of the question” that his parents will ever see it. Here, he plays Emma’s estranged husband, Joseph, who drugs and rapes Emma’s character, Emily, after she left the family home to join a cult. Joseph initially appears to be a pretty nice guy, and repeatedly invites Emily over for dinner so that she can spend time with their young daughter, whom he dotes on.

She said at the time: “I love Joe.
“The brief appearance I have in the second film was very fun to film,” Joe said. “And funny. I mean, the whole concept of it is ridiculous and weird and mad, but standing on the side of a street at midnight with Jesse trying to lick blood off my hand, and pulling him away, people were just laughing.”

So just being free in that kind of sense is, yes, I'm down with that.
