In the film, Jack plays Louis Zamperini, an Olympic distance runner who was captured by the Japanese during World War 11.

“If I’m watching her treat everyone as an equal, that made me feel exactly like that, too. I spent time with her in the rehearsal period. She set up meetings with my mum and some of my family.

“So, by the time we go to the set, it felt like I had a bit of a friend. But it was a massive leap for me, a much more expensive realm of the industry” continued Jack.
