Josh O’Connor may be in the James Bond conversation, but his next on-screen role is a filmed version of his most recent play, “Golden Boy.”
After its sold-out run at London’s Almeida Theatre, National Theatre Live is bringing “Golden Boy” to the big screen starting Nov. 5. In Clifford Odets’ acclaimed play — directed by Sam Yates — O’Connor stars as Joe Bonaparte, “a gifted young violinist with a future in music, until a chance at fame and fortune lures him into the brutal world of professional boxing,” according to its synopsis. “He must confront what he’s willing to sacrifice, who he’s willing to become and how to find his place in a world that demands he choose a side.”
