Academy Award-Winning Actor Daniel Kaluuya Is Essence Magazine’s Latest Digital Cover Star
Academy Award-winning actor @danielkaluuya wants you to know, that he is not guarded, “(he’s) new, and (he’s) in a new country” and he’s serious about his craft. The quiet yet obvious giant fills the room with his calm magnetic energy and overwhelmingly good looks but he’s not a Hollywood heartthrob he’s an artist- with the performances, trophies, and acumen to back it up.
In this issue, filmmaker Jordan Peele has a chat with lead actor Daniel about his anticipated movie, “Nope”.
Ahead of the release, the publication brought the groundbreaking talents together for a candid conversation about their unique bond as actor and director—and the intentionality that made Kaluuya the star he is today.
“I wasn’t getting roles because of racism and all this kind of stuff—so you reaching out was like, okay, i’m not crazy, its proper. it going to be Alright.” Says Daniel
