Actor Alex Lawther and musician Linus Fenton have been best friends since they were 11. Recently, they teamed up for an exciting new project, so we caught up with them to hear more. Joining a video call, we almost feel like a third wheel – they’re doing those knowing looks that only the best of friends understand.
You probably recognise Alex from shows like The End of the F***king World, Black Mirror and The Imitation Game, but Alex has been interested in trying his hand at directing for some time. While Linus, a session musician who trained at jazz school, has always felt like stepping into the spotlight to pursue a solo career.
Despite both working in The Arts, they’ve never worked together and the pair were keen to create something of their own having always starred in other people’s productions. So when Linus approached his good friend Alex to ask if he’d direct the music video for his new song, Fountainhead, it was a no-brainer that they’d collaborate.
