Jamie Bell Says 'Skin' Is A 'Coming To A Consciousness' Story!

Jamie Bell paid a visit to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday (July 24) and dished all about his new film Skin, where he plays a young man raised by racist skinheads and notorious among white supremacists.

“It’s based on a true story, I play a character called Bryon Widner, he was a neo-Nazi for most of his life,” the 33-year-old actor told Stephen. “He’s covered head-to-toe in tattoos, meets this woman and her third children. The story with him, it’s a coming to a consciousness – it’s an awakening of a man.”

“He goes through two years of very painful surgery to remove these tattoos in order to, ultimately, in attempt to reform himself,” Jamie concluded.

Jamie Bell also talked about starring in Rocketman and joked that the United Kingdom has joined America as a country led by a “clown” – Watch the interview below!
