BAFTA winning actor Alan Cumming refuses to pretend he ever 바카라had it hard바카라 in his professional life because he's always had plenty of opportunities lined up in high-profile projects and never had to worry about where the next job came from.
He said: 바카라Young actors ask me, 바카라What was it like when you were struggling?바카라 and I have to say, 바카라I don바카라t know바카라. I made my film, theatre and TV debuts before I left drama school. Annoying,바카라 reports Female First UK.
He told The Times newspaper: "My first job in London was my own show, 'Victor and Barry', at the Donmar Warehouse, quickly followed by a show at the Royal Court that got me nominated for an Olivier. Annoying. The first time I ever worked in New York it was to star in a Broadway musical. The gods have shined. It바카라s important not to pretend that I have had it hard in my work.바카라
As per Female First UK, the 59-year-old star has spoken in the past about the abuse he, his brother Tom and mother Mary suffered at the hands of his dad Alec, but he is dismissive of "pocket psychology" that would suggest his turbulent home life led him into acting in order to gain the approval of audiences.
He said: 바카라I don바카라t buy into that because I바카라ve known lots of incredible artists with totally happy childhoods. However, I have muddied the waters a bit. I said in the book (memoir 'Not My Father바카라s Son') that the qualities I had to have to engage with a raging human adult when I was little, these are also the qualities that make you a good actor.바카라
He continued: 바카라Reading the room, listening, acting 바카라 well, monitoring your behaviour to minimise its negative consequences, which I suppose is what acting is. But I don바카라t think I am an actor because my father hit and abused me. I바카라m sure Meryl Streep had a very happy childhood.바카라
Alan also feels "very lucky" to still be working, having recently looked back on old interviews he'd done and realising how many of his peers at the time are no longer in the spotlight.
He said: 바카라More often than not, I have to say, it would be women. There is this ruthless turnover of people in showbiz, but also it was fascinating to see this emphasis on youth laid out in front of me. So to have a career that is so long is going against the tide, to still be doing what I love, I feel very lucky.바카라
