Josh O’Connor's balancing act

Josh O'Connor's Balancing Act

Josh O'Connor, known for his roles in Challengers and The Crown, has become the internet's most reluctant thirst trap.

With four new films on the horizon, including the next Knives Out, O'Connor is on the verge of megastardom.

In the summer of 2024, after Challengers catapulted him to stardom, O'Connor retreated to a small village in the Cotswolds to escape the noise.

During a rare break from intensive press tours, he spent his time tending to his garden, mowing the lawn, and enjoying the peace.

He’d rather we didn’t name the exact area, because the last time he did that in an interview, post started showing up – some letters, some books.

O'Connor is determined to stay true to himself amidst his rising fame.

Author's summary: Josh O'Connor balances fame and privacy.
