Joseph Quinn Reveals Personal Hobbies Amidst Rising Fame
Actor Joseph Quinn, known for his role in Netflix’s Stranger Things and the upcoming Gladiator II, has disclosed his personal hobbies as public interest in his off-screen life intensifies. Ahead of portraying George Harrison in a highly anticipated Beatles biopic series, alongside Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan, and Harris Dickinson as fellow band members, Quinn shared his newfound enthusiasm for cold water plunges with L’Officiel magazine.
Newfound Passion for Cold Water Plunges
The 31-year-old actor admitted his engagement with the practice might be “tedious” to some. “I’m in that very irritating stage where I know a little bit about it, which is a dangerous thing, so I’m becoming slightly evangelical about it, and telling everyone to do it, which is quite annoying I imagine. Again, I’m no expert, but I have gotten up to a respectable amount of time in there. For myself, anyway,” Quinn confessed.
Gardening Challenges and Hoya Plant
Beyond cold water immersion, Quinn also shared his hobby-related challenges in gardening. He described his ongoing battle with snails targeting his hoya plant. “They are trying to disturb my peace of mind, but I will prevail. Over snail,” he stated.
Public Interest in Joseph Quinn’s Personal Life and Dating Speculation
Joseph Quinn‘s prominence has grown not only due to his professional achievements but also his personal life. Speculation has emerged regarding a potential relationship between him and singer Doja Cat, as reported by the Daily Mail.
Dating Rumors with Doja Cat
Recent reports indicate the pair were seen together in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, in late February. Sources suggest their relationship became official last August, according to Mirror US reports.
Joseph Quinn’s Role in Beatles Biopic Series
The actor’s profile is expected to further escalate with his casting as George Harrison in the forthcoming Beatles biopic project. Director Sir Sam Mendes has opted for four films instead of a single feature to allow audiences a more in-depth exploration of each band member’s character.
Four Films to Explore Each Beatle
Mendes explained his decision, stating the comprehensive story “was too big for one film” and warranted an expansive narrative approach for a contemporary audience.
Beatles’ Legacy to Reach New Generations
This new generation will be introduced to the iconic band members through these films. The biopic series will feature both living and deceased Beatles, coming nearly three decades after George Harrison‘s passing and over 45 years after John Lennon’s death.
Reflections on George Harrison’s Legacy
As anticipation builds for the film releases, younger viewers are expressing eagerness to learn about the Beatles. Earlier this year, individuals who knew Harrison offered reflections on his lasting impact, 24 years after his death from cancer in 2001.
Olivia Arias Harrison on George’s Musical Dedication
George Harrison‘s widow, Olivia Arias Harrison, in an interview with Mojo Magazine, revealed insights into her late husband’s dedication to music. She shared that while George felt he didn’t practice his guitar enough, he was highly self-critical and consistently aimed to refine his musical abilities.
First Impression of George Harrison
Olivia Arias Harrison recounted her initial meeting with George: “My first impression of George was that he was smaller than life. Very humble, normal and thoughtful. And very focused. He had such a strong core of self.”
George’s Commitment to Music
She further elaborated on his commitment: “He didn’t seem to be a frivolous person, although he was that. From the first day I met him he was working on music. He said he didn’t practise the guitar or sitar enough.”
Self-Discipline and Musical Drive
“He was pretty tough on himself. He said he wouldn’t play unless he was recording or writing, but actually he played all the time. He really did push himself,” Olivia Arias Harrison concluded.
