Sam Claflin Instagram – “I relish the opportunity of providing people an escape from their own lives. I love watching films and I’m learning to love reading too, telling stories; watching them; listening to them; reading them. They should leave a person asking questions about their own lives or wanting to learn more about the story in front of them or the people in it. Stories allow us the opportunity to feel something — be it purely entertained or otherwise.” Covering our Summer 2023 issue, Daisy Jones & The Six’s Sam Claflin is back from the ‘70s. Now living in the moment, the British-born actor discusses his process of transforming into an American rockstar for the award-tipped role, the magical connection of his cast, and prioritising his mental health and role as a father.
