Jordan Firstman is nothing short of a social media revelation – but there’s a lot more to him than that. A writer and actor, in Sebastian Silva’s latest film, Rotting in the Sun, he is tasked with playing a heightened version of himself, in a dark and dramatic production that has moments of light relief, of course, and lots of sex, too.
We had the pleasure of speaking to Firstman, where we discussed how it was playing himself on screen. He talks about performing the sex scenes, and if there’s anybody off-limits in regards to who he shares the film with. He also looks ahead, at what his ambitions for his career are, and why he hopes to move away from the skits that elevated his presence in the last few years. And also, just an apology for us for the hairy chest reveal. Consider this a trigger warning.
