Harris Dickinson is thinking about the American dream. "I love the sense of optimism. That you can go there and people will just sort of accept what you're doing, that you're trying something new or want to be someone new," he tells me, sitting a dimly lit room in East London, the light already lost at 5pm on a Monday.
Dickinson is one of the UK's most buzzy actors around right now, fresh off a tide of major projects – Triangle of Sadness, The Kingsman and Where the Crawdads Sing – and acclaimed indies, such as Scrapper and his Gotham Award-winning debut, Beach Rats. Soon he'll combine the two as he stars in The Iron Claw, an A24 production about the Von Erich wrestling family, alongside Hollywood heavyweights like Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White. And if he does move to the US, he'll be one of our best exports.
