“I used to dream of getting the chance to be in movies like The Terminal just like he was in. “I really, really like Tom Hanks,” Sky says. Widely regarded as a cultural icon and one of the most recognisable film stars worldwide, the 66-year-old Tom Hanks is versatile in any role he takes on – from drama and action, to comedy. He also comes off as someone that’s not easy to approach.”ĭid we mention how Sky dreams big? Here’s another award-winning veteran actor for the list – Tom Hanks. “I’d see how he directs, and I really can’t imagine what it must take for the actors to be able to prepare and execute their roles.

“I want to talk to him and ask him about his work process: what he thinks, how he’s able to come up with such ideas or angles, how he designs the development of his characters. “As an actor who gets the chance to work with a director such as him, I know that you’ll have to undergo some intense study and homework into the character and the craft,” the actor notes. I want to try doing something like that.” “I want to try acting in a project that is challenging and difficult to interpret, like the movie Tenet. “I’ve always liked his work, way back from the beginning, so I’ve been following him ever since for years,” Sky explains. My mind was completely blank, I couldn’t think of anything to say.”Īfter Ali, Sky immediately mentioned the next artist he dreams of working with – award-winning director Christopher Nolan, a filmmaker known for his cerebral, non-linear storytelling behind successes such as Inception, the Batman trilogy, Interstellar, and Tenet. I didn’t dare say much, I was nervous and wanted to give him space. He thanked me and said he was glad to hear that,” Sky tells us. “We met again at dinner, so I got the chance to tell him that I looked up to him and admired his work.

It was at the dinner after the show when Sky mustered up the courage to speak to his idol. Because I was sitting so close to him, I was quite tense and nervous, so we didn’t speak.” There was a spotlight on him, every media outlet there was just snapping away and taking photos of him. “I was always glancing over at him because I was so excited. “I got to sit so closely to him, there was only one other person sitting between us,” the actor continues. “Did you know that I got the chance to meet him in person? I was so excited,” Sky beams with excitement. It was, in fact, Ali’s acting in the Academy Award-winning Best Picture Green Book that caught the attention of the young actor. Among Sky’s top list lies 48-year-old Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, BAFTA Award, Screen Actors Guild Award, and Primetime Emmy Award winning actor Mahershala Ali – the star behind critically acclaimed movies such as Moonlight and Green Book.
