Liam Cunningham, widely recognized for his role as Ser Davos Seaworth in the HBO series "Game of Thrones," recently spent several days in Croatia attending the Slano Film Days festival. During his visit, the Irish actor engaged in conversations with Večernji list, revealing details about his involvement in a new film directed by Jasmila Žbanić.
Cunningham, described as possessing a notable modesty and a sometimes comically vulgar openness, was among a distinguished group of international film professionals at the festival. The event included Oscar-winning actors Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard, acclaimed directors Ruben Östlund and Pawel Pawlikowski, and numerous producers and agents.
Despite the presence of other stars, Cunningham reportedly preferred spending his time with journalists, watching football matches (cheering for Bosnia and Croatia), enjoying local wines, and sharing travel photos. He spoke passionately about his love for photography, his support for his non-binary daughter, and his somewhat radical political convictions.
When asked if it was acceptable to focus the interview on societal issues rather than film, Cunningham's face reportedly lit up, indicating his willingness to discuss broader topics. The article notes his active engagement with the festival's attendees and his enjoyment of the local Croatian culture.
When I asked him if it was okay for Večernji list not to talk about the film, but about society, his face lit up.
