Dylan O’Brien x Interview magazine, July 2022.

Promoting his upcoming film 'Not Okay', Dylan O’Brien hits the beach with Interview magazine - as photographed by Aidan Cullen, and styled by Jake Sammis.

Dylan on being cast: "The script first came in as just, “Check this out, and if you like it, do you want to meet Quinn [Shephard]?” I knew that Zoey [Deutch] was attached. I had just worked with her earlier in the year and loved her, and I’d heard that Quinn was a very talented, young, up-and-coming filmmaker. I checked out Quinn’s movie. I did all my homework, and I read the script. I’ve just always been taken aback by these, not even influencers, but these white tatted kids who talk with blaccents as if they’re from the streets, appropriating Black culture, and being someone that “we” are thirsting over. I found it such an odd trend, but I was fascinated by it. That’s how I saw the character. I wanted to go full force with it. I wanted the tats, the Bieber blonde hair, and an MGK Fortnite skin. I just wanted to take the piss out of that kind of person."
