John Cleese and Troye Sivan co-star in Spud, a movie about a young boy's misadventures in his first year at an elite boarding school in Durban North... at the dawn of a New South Africa.
Boarding school shenanigans and growing up in 1990s South Africa. It's a shame that this film is unlikely to get a wide release – while it provides only cursory insights into South African prejudices in the nineties, it's an interesting perspective to explore.
John Cleese attended the premiere for the indie film Spud in Johannesburg South Africa.
I think he has a really good chance to make it big if he keeps at it. I liked his role in his work so far.
I might have seen him before but can't recall the movie.
And is that what the red carpet is called over there, "yellow carpet"?
Troye Sivan, who played a small part in X-Men Origins: Wolverine recently stole the leading role in the South African film Spud alongside John Cleese.
On Screen interviews him in re his role in the film.
It is real cool how he wanted to learn from the famous John Cleese.
I wonder if this film is going to be shown here.
