Jeremy O. Harris, a giraffe of humans (he said it, not us), appeared on The Late Late Show With James Corden January 25 to talk all things France and Zola. Check him out in the video clip above.
Harris, whose Tony-nominated Slave Playjust completed its second run on Broadway, co-wrote the screenplay for the film Zola with director Janicza Bravo. Based on a 2015 Twitter thread by Aziah Wells (Zola) chronicling her wild trip to Florida with an exotic dancer, the film is nominated for seven Independent Spirit Awards, including Best Screenplay.
As an actor, Harris can be seen on the current season of Emily in Paris on Netflix, and as himself on HBO Max's Gossip Girl reboot. Zola is available on demand and on Showtime.
The new English-language trailer is chock full of fun details, but the international trailers offer even more easter eggs, including listens to the film's foreign language singing dubs.
