Riz Ahmed Interview: Nimona Put Him Through His Paces
In Netflix's latest animated film Nimona, down-on-his-luck ex-knight Ballister Blackheart sees his life undergo a major change when shapeshifting youth Nimona (Chloë Grace Moretz) drops into his life and insists on being his sidekick. The pair become determined to prove Blackheart's innocence after he is accused of murdering the queen, and must go into hiding. Along the way, Blackheart must deal with being hunted down by his one-time love Ambrosius Goldenloin (Eugene Lee Yang), while also learning there is far more to his new protogée than meets the eye.
In this one-on-one interview with Collider's Arezou Amin, Ahmed talked about jumping at the chance to work with the film's talented cast and directors, and trusting in the process when it came to playing around and improvising, and how doing his first animated film "put him through his paces." He also discusses his favorite moments of the film, and talks about what makes the Nimona/Ballister dynamic so special.
