Hull's Robert Aramayo Stuns with Bafta Leading Actor Nod Among Hollywood Giants
Robert Aramayo, an actor from Hull in East Yorkshire, has received a nomination for the leading actor category at the Bafta Film Awards. This is a huge honor for any actor, and Robert says he finds it 'unbelievable' to be nominated alongside famous stars like Leonardo DiCaprio and Timothée Chalamet. Robert played the main role in the film 'I Swear,' which tells the true story of John Davidson, a teenager living with Tourette's syndrome. Tourette's syndrome is a condition that causes people to make sudden movements or sounds, called tics, that they cannot control. In some cases, like John's, it can also cause people to say words that are inappropriate or offensive, even if they do not want to.
The film 'I Swear' is a comedy-drama directed by Kirk Jones. It has been recognized in several categories at the Bafta Film Awards, including outstanding British film, supporting actor, original screenplay, and casting. Robert said that everyone who worked on the film was very dedicated to telling John Davidson's story as truthfully as possible. He described the experience as 'amazing' and said that the whole team worked very hard to make the film special.
Robert also talked about how exciting it is to be nominated with actors he admires, such as DiCaprio, Chalamet, and Ethan Hawke. He said it feels 'unbelievable' to be in the same group as them. Robert has acted in other well-known productions, including 'Lord of the Rings' and 'Game of Thrones. ' He shared that he was inspired by a talk Ethan Hawke gave at his university, which had a big impact on him. Robert hopes he might get the chance to meet Hawke and thank him in person for his inspiring words.
Playing John Davidson was the biggest challenge of Robert's acting career so far. He said it was difficult but also very rewarding. He felt lucky to have support from many people while preparing for the role. John Davidson's life was the subject of several documentaries, starting with 'John's Not Mad' in 1989, which helped raise awareness about Tourette's syndrome. John was later honored with an MBE for his work in educating others about the condition. Robert has also been nominated for the EE Bafta Rising Star Award, which is voted on by the public. The film's director, Kirk Jones, praised Robert's performance, saying he knew Robert was the right person for the role.
