SAM CORLETT

Q&A

WORDS BY SCOTT HENDERSON PHOTOGRAPHY BY JAMIE GREEN

Although Corlett’s career is just getting started, his creativity is abundant, the excitement evident behind his sparkling blue eyes. Very much the modern renaissance man, the actor is fierce enough to portray bloodthirsty warriors on screen,yet sufficiently emotionally available to share his views on, say, history’s great poets during fireside chats with mates.

Sometimes the challenge for me is to be light and fluffy and humourous.

BROKEN HEAD

In a world in which public figures build careers upon notoriety and chaos, it’s reassuring to know that with men like Corlett leading the way, the future of the Aussie entertainment industry is in safe hands.

“The more you get in tune with who you are and be that person fearlessly, the more support you’ll get from those around you and people will be attracted to you that are of a similar mindset – it’s just like fans to the flame.”

HOLLYWOOD

Outside of his nine-to-five, Corlett ponders his options, particularly in the world he’s about to re-enter after months of relative anonymity in Byron Bay. He’s writing a poetry book, he continues to draw and there is, of course, the third season of Valhalla to film. Yet, somewhat prophetically, he outlines his broader ambitions when it comes to his role in a world seemingly on the brink of something dire.
