IS this the weirdest audition I've ever done? I dunno. But it's certainly up there! 😂😂
Either way, it's roles like this that make me so excited to do more shorts and student films.
Bring them on! 🎭

Fair play to the British government. This 100% needed to be done. 👏🏽👏🏽
🚨 Now can we ban sugar? Possibly* the most toxic substance available for consumption today. ☠️
Hopefully one day. 🔥

*Not a fact, but a pretty safe assumption. 🤷♂️

Unless it's for work, I leave the house as little as possible these days. 🛋️📺
But when I do go out, it's only to go somewhere that's either for a good cause, super relaxing, or has something nom to eat.
Luckily, Beijing has lots of both! 🥧🤤

A photo of British actor AJ Donnelly, dressed in a 1910's suit, from the movie Detective Chinatown 1900, next to the words 'I don't mind being labelled. I just don't want to be mislabeled.'
In an ideal world, there are no labels. Yet, here we are. 🤷♂️
So call me autistic, different, or unique.
Just don’t get it wrong. Because the wrong label doesn’t just describe me… it can change how people see me.🌻

You know what else should be invested in?
New faces.
Relying on the same stars is just as bad as relying on the same stories. So trust your audiences won't run out the door. Find fresh faces!

Cut star salaries before staff!
And yet, seemingly no mention (at least so far) of cutting salaries of top BBC stars. 🤔
The BBC is a global institution which seems to have been run into the ground by terrible choice after terrible choice.
Want to turn it around? Cut star salaries before cutting staff!

Both. But it stopped bothering me a long time ago. I'm quite happy to go unnoticed in general life. 🥷🏽
In AJ's Awesome Opinion™️ Earth would instantly become a better place if we all identified as, and identified others as, human, before any other labels.
Closing our eyes to our similarities, and the desire to identify differences between us, is a big part of the Them vs Us problem we face, IMHO.
No. If Starmer gets his way, future generations won't remember us at all. There will be nothing left to remember.

Why do I feel like we've been here before...? 🤔
Could I play more than just tough guy roles? 🤔
I think actors should be adaptable, ready to become whatever type of character is needed.
But I've heard from people recently that I'm not suitable for 'softer' roles.
Watch the video and tell me what you think! 😁

I'm usually underwhelmed by short films. I appreciate the effort that goes into them, but the results often leave a lot to be desired.
But not here. This genuinely had me on edge and queasy for 10 minutes.
Writing. Music. Lighting. Acting. All 10/10.
Go watch it! 🔥

100%. I chose a while back to make my time worth something, to me and the people I care about. Small talk and shallow 'connections' add zero value to my existence, so why waste time on them. If it truly makes others feel connected and fulfilled, good for them. But it's definitely not for me.
"No one will ever vote the Greens into power."
Why? Because the traditional parties have given us such a wonderful world?
💚 F*** the Status Quo.
💚 F*** not rocking the boat.
💚 F*** respecting norms.
We get the future we want, not by accepting what is, but by building what we need.
Let's go!
Woot woot! Keep up the good work mate! 🎭🎬🎞️🎥👏🏽👏🏽
A great prize for great advocacy! 🏆👏🏽👏🏽
Aside from connecting with people through my job, I don't. No need or desire to. Reddit, BlueSky and maybe Instagram are the closest I get to 'connecting' with people, because I can just post about what interests me, choose what conversations to interact with and what to just scroll past. 🤷♂️

Spring is practically knocking on the door, so it felt like the perfect moment to share these winter photos before they officially become… seasonally inappropriate. 😂

Jeez you're struggling with this one, aren't you? 😂
I asked what you think 'contingency plans for public protests' means.
Your answer was:
"They discussed contingency planning for public disorder or demonstrations..."
You're going in circles! But OK, you bored me into conceding. Well done! 🎖️
Well done avoiding answering my question! You have all the hallmarks of an outstanding Labour Politician! 🥳
Taking ownership of your own IMDb page is definitely a milestone! Congrats! ✊🏽🥳
I'll say though, don't worry about your STARmeter. It really says nothing about your career, talent or popularity. No decent agent or casting director will care about it.
Just focus on being the very best you can be! ⭐
Where's the joke?
The reporter's name is Wan (pronounced as it's written) and Qing (roughly pronounced ch-ing).
Where's the comedy here? 🧐
And your understanding of
"...where contingency plans have reportedly been drawn up to deal with widespread demonstrations..."
is what exactly? Do you think the British government's plan is to organize picnics in the park for the protesters maybe? 🥪☕😂
Beautiful! 😍
When you have no answers, the only option is to silence those who are asking you questions.
#IranWar #UKPolitics #VoteGreen #ShareYourVoice
Why? Because it's easier to shut down your critics than answer their legitimate questions. The Labour Party has no answers, so quelling questions and stifling protest is the only option they have.
The more they attack @zackpolanski.bsky.social, the more you know he is doing right.
💚 F*** the Sun.
💚 F*** horse racing.
🌱 Go Green.

A black and white photo of British actor AJ Donnelly with the text "'This is too much' isn't me being dramatic. It's me being overwhelmed."
For a long time, I believed I was being weak. And others told me the same.
But it's not weakness. It's just me and people like me trying to process a world demanding too much of our autistic brains.
And sometimes, that's just overwhelming. 🌻

"Her co-star then halted production and became “combative with the director” over the moment."
What.
The.
Actual.
****?! 😡
Munn doesn't mention names so it's only her side of the story. But if accurate, what an unprofessional dick hat that guy was!
