‘Zola’ star Nicholas Braun lived on candy and Red Bulls while making movie
NY Post
Fans are used to seeing Nicholas Braun in swanky suits and silk ties as Cousin Greg on “Succession.” But in his new movie “Zola,” the Emmy-nominated actor is switching out the rosé for Red Bull.
Based on an infamous 2015 Twitter thread, the A24 flick, in theaters June 30, tells a mostly true version of a wild weekend gone wrong. Titular Zola (Taylour Paige), is a waitress from Detroit who is whisked down to Tampa, Florida, by her fast-friend Stefani (Riley Keough) with the promise of dancing for dollar bills. Accompanied by Stef’s dumpy boyfriend Derrek (Braun) and a mysterious figure known only as X (Colman Domingo), their fun girls’ trip quickly dissolves past the point of no return. “It’s fun, it’s funny, it’s f – – ked up.” Braun told The Post. “I haven’t been as excited for people to see a film probably ever.”
