Harris Dickinson Appears Confirm Actor Who Humiliated Him Early Career

Harris Dickinson has recounted an early career experience where a veteran co-star humiliated him on set by mocking his working-class background through a game that involved impersonations. During the game, the actor impersonating Dickinson was asked what food and TV show he would be, replying "fish and chips" and "Love Island," respectively, which were meant to highlight class stereotypes. Dickinson described the co-star as an "old school, middle to upper class" individual and expressed frustration but did not initially name him. Fans speculated the actor was either Ralph Fiennes or Robert Lindsay; Dickinson dismissed Ralph Fiennes as the culprit, calling him a "sweetheart," but his reaction when Robert Lindsay's name was mentioned suggested Lindsay might be the actor in question. This incident remains a significant memory for Dickinson as he prepares for his role portraying John Lennon in an ambitious four-part Beatles biopic directed by Sam Mendes, a role that parallels Dickinson's own working-class upbringing. The story emphasizes the challenges Dickinson has faced related to class perceptions within the industry while highlighting his rising prominence as an actor.
