Kingsley Ben-Adir: An Actor Who Makes You Feel More Human
I first met Kingsley Ben-Adir at a cast dinner for High Fidelity. Actors can be a reserved group, but he was brimming with enthusiasm. By the end of the evening, I felt like I had known him for years. As we said goodbye, he invited me to join him in Jamaica … that weekend.
Kingsley radiates a genuine love for humanity. When I watched One Love, it felt like I was witnessing the merging of souls. He wasn’t just playing Bob Marley—he was becoming him. And as much as these two artists share similarities, I know that such an accomplishment can only be achieved through extensive research and an unwavering dedication to the craft. In a world overflowing with content, Kingsley’s success is a testament to his ability to make others feel more connected to their humanity. I hope the world continues to recognize how special he truly is. And I’m glad he finally got his trip to Jamaica.
