New work - Fresh from watching his latest film, We Live In Time, Daisy Edgar-Jones (@daisyedgarjones) is still processing the emotional impact of Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh’s performances. In our final cover story for Issue 35, Garfield – who’s known for his roles in Tick, Tick... Boom! and The Amazing Spider Man – opens up about how the film’s exploration of grief and joy parallels his own life story. The pair discuss everything from working together on Under the Banner of Heaven to regret, loss, vulnerability and the beauty of fleeting moments. Garfield wears @loropiana throughout, excerpt below: Daisy Edgar-Jones: If you could turn back time, would you? Andrew Garfield: Fuck, that’s such a good question Daisy. DEJ: Thanks. AG: I think we’ve seen enough time travel films to realise that it’s a bad idea, ultimately. But it might be tempting. DEJ: Is there anything in particular you would redo or change? AG: Girl, coming in with the hard ball. But existential questions are my thing. Whenever I start pulling on that thread, I quickly realise there’s nothing I would change. If it could have been different, it would have been. I think about regret sometimes, and I think it can be really guiding and healing. If you have a regret about something that you could have done differently or that you know you’ll have an opportunity to do in a different way in the future, it can change behaviour. I think that regret is a beautiful gift. I don’t think I could go back and change anything. Hopefully we get another go around. I’m praying that reincarnation is a real thing.

New work - Our fifth cover star for Issue 35 is Colman Domingo, who steps into his latest role as Divine G in Sing Sing with the same integrity and depth he’s brought to every performance – from his unforgettable turn as Ali in Euphoria to portraying Bayard Rustin. @jetvgc chats to Domingo about his journey, the responsibility of storytelling and the moral compass that guides his work. Domingo is photographed by @johncedmonds with the @montblanc Meisterstück. Excerpt below: Colman Domingo says West Philly like it’s the only option for his origin story, balling his face up at the idea he might have hailed from anywhere else. When we speak on Zoom, I’m in his hometown and he’s at the Chelsea Hotel. He rocks an oversized black tee across the screen from me, thick cotton draping down past his elbows as I prepare to mind his business. He likes the beauty of black and gold on brown skin, and while our near-matching fits are accidental, the fact of Philly as a particular kind of provenance is not. The star of such roles as Victor Strand in Fear the Walking Dead and famously mean Mister in The Color Purple reminisces on his night prior at a Ralph Lauren show in the Hamptons. “I’d never been so moved at a fashion show,” he says. We both recall the many Black kids from way back, clawing their way into self-possessed style through the damn-near-attainable tutelage of Ralph Lauren. And from this aspirational moment, he reflects on his own journey – one marked by scrupulous ethics and perennial labour – and how he’s now basking in the glow of long-overdue recognition.

Our fourth cover for Issue 35 features Chiwetel Ejiofor, who talks to @caleb_anelson about the influences that shaped him, the challenges of his roles and his responsibility as an artist. Ejiofor wears @paulsmithdesign throughout. Excerpt below: It’s a bright, warm day when I arrive at the photoshoot in Hampstead, north London, and though he’s wrapped in layers – the shoot is for the AW edition of this magazine – there’s a soft and comfortable smile on Chiwetel Ejiofor’s face. He crosses the room to meet me with a firm handshake. He’s got a calm, easy presence. Despite being born in east London to Nigerian parents, I recognise the movement and rhythm of a man raised in south London – his slow, considered walk, the urgency with which he attends to and listens. Our time together quickly confirms what comes to mind when I think of him, see him acting on screen or watch his directorial work: to be in the presence of Ejiofor is to be in contact with a quiet, devastating stillness. I say quiet and not silent because I think to be quiet is to inhabit a certain frequency, one which contains presence and invitation, rather than absence and refusal. So much of this emerges in the honesty with which he confronts each moment. “One cannot evade themselves,” he tells me, and in turning inward, he encourages those around him to do the same.

Barry Keoghan (@keoghan92) has never been one to follow the rules. With no formal training and a career defined by taking risks, our third cover star for Issue 35 opens up to @thethirdhan about his unique approach to acting, why he still seeks out challenges, and how he’s finally finding a sense of calm in the chaos of Hollywood. Keoghan wears @manoloblahnik throughout. Excerpt below: Barry Keoghan has started brushing his teeth with his left hand. He explains the method in his madness duly: “because I’m doing that, I have to be present. I’m not thinking about getting in the car, or getting to work, or what I’ve got to do that day, or anything else. I’m focused on brushing my teeth,” he says over the phone from the Isle of Wight, where he’s preparing for a new role as well as the upcoming Peaky Blinders film shoot, enjoying a few days of calm before the storm. The toothbrush anecdote is to illustrate a wider point: when he took acting classes earlier this year at the prestigious Stella Adler Academy in Los Angeles, he was intimidated by the academic, technical approach. “But not in a bad way,” he clarifies. “There were moments where I had to get up on stage, or do a scene, and I just found it really hard.” Perhaps the idea that an Oscar-nominated actor could find acting classes a tough crack sounds absurd; Keoghan himself is also sceptical. “But it was that fear I wanted to feel again. I wanted to learn, y’know? Be dropped in the deep end and see how other people do it.” Photography @christopherandersonphoto, styling @mitchellbelk, production @weareartengine, grooming @charley.mcewen.

@port_magazine Port’s second cover star is @mustafathepoet who, after the release of his 2021 debut, When Smoke Rises, reached acclaim for his personal song writing exploring themes of love, loss and conflict. As he launches his new album, the Sudanese-Canadian musician sits down with friend and collaborator Dev Hynes, of Blood Orange, to reflect on his creative process, the importance of preservation, and the making of Dunya, which translates from Arabic to “the world in all its flaws”. Mustafa wears @gucci AW24 throughout. Excerpt below: “For me, it was not about having my own world, or an attempt at having agency over a space. There was a space in the world that I didn’t feel was reflected, and much of that was the space I grew up in. I really wanted to soundtrack what that felt like and try to develop some sort of sonic foundation or memory. Also, the diaspora as an idea is going to transform. When I think about that, it’s like a fire beneath me, because I’m part of this Sudanese diaspora. Sudan is experiencing the worst refugee crisis in the world, with 10 million people displaced. Everything I say and write now becomes, for better or worse, a sonic memory. I realised I needed to plant a flag in the ground of what that feeling is, just for archival purposes. My issue is never about being forgotten. It’s more about being remembered in the wrong way or being misrepresented in the course of history.” Head to the link in bio to read the full story and pre-order your copy.

@port_magazine Port Issue 35 has arrived! Introducing the first of our six cover stars – Sebastian Stan (@imsebastianstan), beloved for Captain America, I, Tonya and his Emmy-nominated role in Pam & Tommy. Fresh from starring in A Different Man and The Apprentice, he caught up with @NattyKasambala to explore deep questions about identity, ambition, and the complexities of portraying one of America’s most influential (and controversial) men, Donald Trump. Stan wears @ragandbone throughout. Excerpt below: “Creatively, [what] makes things interesting is when you’re not in control. You do all this preparation to be prepared to be surprised […] The only way you can achieve that is if, to some degree, you find that person in you. And I can certainly tell you,” he pauses briefly to consider his landing. “There is a version of Trump that existed in me. And I’ll make the argument that there’s a version of Trump that exists in all of us. And that part of our job, part of our interest, should be figuring out what that is. I think we have to acknowledge and expose the things in us that are not so easy to admit, in order to further protect the things we need to fight for. You can’t ignore it.” Head to the link in bio to read the full story and pre-order your copy. Photography @goldbergjim, styling @reubenesser, production @hyperion.la, hair @jamie_grooming @ericaerk.
