Whether it was a riveting gaze during takes that suggested focus, a quizzical look stemming from a confusing question or an “eye-smile” kindled from a happy memory, a twinkle emanates from Salif Hardie’s eyes even when it merely catches the faintest of lights.
“As an actor, I look up to Cillian Murphy a lot,” quips Hardie of his admiration for the Irishman’s portrayal of Thomas Shelby in Peaky Blinders. “A lot of his acting stems from his eyes and one day I hope to capture the hearts of people one day.”
“Crying on cue however is not my big talent even though that is something I learnt to do as an actor,” remarks the 27, going on the 28-year old actor. “When a director says you have to cry, then you have to. Tears are a byproduct of what you’re feeling inside and the best acting is not about the tears but what the actor is going through that brings him to tears. That is way more powerful.”
Born as the eldest of three children and of Australian and Malay descent; much of Hardie’s artistic influences stemmed from a young age, nourished by weekend trips to concerts and theatre plays with his mother and siblings, and his parents’ musical inclinations. Hardie counts Breaking Bad and Dance Gavin Dance as his favourite screenplays and music bands respectively.
