Ncuti Gatwa Instagram – For much of Ncuti Gatwa’s adolescence, his local area of Oxgangs was all he knew. There were those petty teenage scraps, of course, but also a sense of semi-imagined hedonism. “From ages 11 to 15, it was very Skins, we were living hard and fast. Like, I look back and I wouldn’t do [half of those things] now.”
When he was 15 his family moved to Dunfermline, a small city in Fife. There, he cleaned up his act, stopped fighting, and instead focused on pleasing his parents. “I became a nerdy, swotty-type boy. That was my new aesthetic.”
While Gatwa didn’t want to let his parents down, he also knew there was more opportunity beyond Dunfermline. “I was like, I’ve got a goal, and the goal is to get out and see the world and fucking go for it. I love Dunfermline, but I knew there was more to life than it, and I wanted it all.”
