Exclusive Interview – O’Shea Jackson Jr. on Godzilla: King of the Monsters

May 30, 2019 by Harrison Abbott

Having taken on the role of Chief Warrant Officer Barnes, O’Shea Jackson Jr. is on the ground level for much of Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Dodging lightening strikes, explosions and falling debris, he’s the closet thing the film has to a human action hero and – judging by his infectious enthusiasm – he clearly relished that opportunity.

In advance of the blockbuster release, we got the chance to sit down with O’Shea and talk about his experience on the production. He’s a really charismatic interviewee and we cover lots of topics, including his favourite monster movies (as it turns out, he happens to be a big fan of Godzilla. Kong? Not so much) the challenges of acting against a green-screen and his ambition to make the first truly great video-game adaptation.
