highlighted how young he looked, with an image of him alongside Keira Knightley, who is just five years older.
He has driven here from his Hertfordshire home to talk about a show and a role that are seemingly the polar opposite of his measured, grounded existence. In Pistol – a six-episode series based on Sex Pistols’ guitarist Steve Jones’s memoir,– Brodie-Sangster sports fake ginger curls as the band’s megalomaniac manager Malcolm McLaren, who shot the ragtag group of working-class men to fame, and was later described by frontman John Lydon as “the most evil man in the world”.
Before The Queen’s Gambit, he took a two-year break from acting. “There was nothing else I wanted to do day in, day out,” he says. “I just fancied slowing down for a bit, figuring out how to move forward. I didn’t want acting to become a habit.” He wasn’t too worried about being forgotten in the meantime. “If that happens, that happens. I’ll find something else to do,” he says. “But it could definitely happen. People get forgotten and things move on; cultures change in the film industry.
If McLaren were still alive, what would he ask him? “Where’s the [Sex Pistols’] money!” he laughs. “I’d ask him about his background and his childhood. What led him to want to wake England up, to destroy things to get a reaction? And I’d want to know how he felt about the boys? How much he felt he needed to look after them or whether that was all an act? I’m not sure whether he’d give me a straight answer to any of those”.
