Cynthia Erivo and Hugh Jackman bring together two extraordinary acting philosophies in a conversation rich with humanity and craft. They discuss discipline—not as punishment, but as devotion. Erivo speaks about vocal resilience, emotional preparation, and the razor’s edge between control and abandon. Jackman reflects on roles that demanded he push past exhaustion to find truth.
They bond over musical storytelling, stage-to-screen evolution, and the often invisible labor behind performances that look effortless on camera. Their mutual admiration is palpable; each lifts the other, expanding on ideas with warmth and shared understanding.
The conversation is intimate, artistic, and refreshingly grounded—exactly what Actors on Actors does best.
Perfect inspiration before a dramatic performance-centered movie night.
