George MacKay in conversation with Léa Seydoux
George MacKay speaks with Léa Seydoux about stepping into the world of Jane Austen romance for this autumn’s big-screen adaptation of Sense & Sensibility. As Edward Ferrars, opposite Daisy Edgar-Jones, MacKay finds himself at the centre of Austen’s novel of tangled passion – “It’s just so rich.”

Austin Abrams in conversation with Zach Cregger
Bloodied, bruised and on the run, Austin Abrams sits down with filmmaker @zcregger to talk about their reunion on Resident Evil. After working together on Weapons, the pair return to the screen – and to conversation – with Cregger recalling their initial meeting: “You were not making eye contact. You sat across from me and you were just scratching your head the whole time... I was like, “This guy is definitely weird.” [both laugh}

Aaron Pierre in conversation with Barry Jenkins
@aaron_pierre speaks with Academy Award-winning filmmaker, longtime collaborator and friend @bandrybarry.

Anthony Boyle
A natural-born storyteller, @anthonyboyle steps into the mind of crypto king Sam Bankman-Fried in Netflix’s The Altruists, arriving this November. Seen through his relationship with Caroline Ellison, played by Julia Garner, Boyle delivers a portrait of the man behind the headlines – “The first time I watched a clip of him, I was like, ‘Oh my god, this guy is so interesting.’”

George MacKay in conversation with Léa Seydoux
A rite of passage for Britain’s most lauded actors, George MacKay’s entry into the Austen-verse sees him bring to life perhaps Austen’s most understated hero in Georgia Oakley’s screen adaptation of Sense and Sensibility. Starring as Edward Ferrars opposite Daisy Edgar-Jones, MacKay is every inch the leading man.

Among the British menswear quarterlies, Hero has the clearest eye on emerging talent — visually pointed, fashion-literate and unusually well-cast. UK cover price £7.95.
