He also cited the comments he has been seeing about the film. “To be honest, I've been trying to protect myself from all the talk. But I attended a screening of the film in Brisbane, and it was absolutely electrifying! The entire audience was captivated, gasping and even shouting at the screen. It was an experience like no other, I haven't been in a film like this for a long, long time”, highlighted the star.

The psychological thriller accompanies student Oliver Quick (Barry Keoghan) who struggles to find his place at Oxford College and finds himself drawn into the world of the charming and aristocratic Felix Catton (Jacob Elordi) who invites him to spend a summer at Saltburn, the sprawling estate of his eccentric family.
