The talented actor Richard Gadd is about to release his next project, following the immense success of his hit play Baby Reindeer. Fans around the world were left in awe by Gadd's heartbreaking performance in the TV adaptation of his one-man show, which was based on his own real-life experience of being stalked while recovering from sexual assault.
However, in his upcoming project, Gadd will be taking on a completely different character. He will be playing an arrogant and cocky individual, a far cry from the vulnerable and emotional Donny from Baby Reindeer.
The Netflix breakout star has been propelled to stardom by the wild success of his show, but also by the controversy surrounding it. The woman claiming to be the real-life stalker has filed a lawsuit against Netflix for defamation, privacy, and intentional infliction of distress.
But now, Gadd is ready to showcase his talent in a new short film called Truth Serum. Alongside a talented British and Irish cast, Gadd plays a guest at a housewarming party who unwittingly takes a mysterious drug. As ugly truths start to surface, chaos ensues and old friendships are put to the test.
Gadd's character, Jimmy, is the catalyst for all the events that unfold. He makes quite the entrance in his loud yellow sports car, snorting a line of coke before barging into the party and loudly proclaiming his sexual prowess. He even shows off a picture of two women he claims to have had a threesome with.
It's clear that Gadd has taken on the role of the antagonist in Truth Serum, a brash and arrogant extrovert. This is a stark contrast to his previous role as the fictionalized version of himself in Baby Reindeer. But Gadd's energy and captivating performance keep the audience engaged, even when there's very little to like or sympathize with in his character.
The film, written by Bafta nominee Oliver Shuster and directed by Vika Evdokimenko, offers a juicy twist for Gadd's character to grapple with, along with a fitting ending for his obnoxious car.
Despite his expected success at the upcoming awards shows, Gadd is still taking on smaller independent projects like Truth Serum. This showcases his versatility as an actor and proves that there's more to him than just Donny from Baby Reindeer.
Before his rise to stardom, Gadd had been quietly working in television and making short films for several years. But Truth Serum highlights his ability to excel in roles that he hasn't written or produced himself.
The film will be available to watch worldwide on June 27th. And for those interested, if you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, get in touch with the entertainment team at The Agency through email, phone, or their Submit Stuff page. They would love to hear from you.
