Nathan Jones reminds fans that his character in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is fictional.
Former WWE superstar Nathan Jones features in the Mad Max universe as Rictus, a character that returned for the recent release, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. In the movie, Rictus chases a young Furiosa he has fixated on, forcing the character to fake her own death to escape his fixation. This has brought harsh reactions to the door of Jones.
Jones took to social media recently and addressed these concerns from fans, while reminding them that he is only an actor playing a fictional character as the script directs.
Hi everyone,
I've noticed a few queries and private messages about my role in Mad Max: Furiosa, particularly regarding a scene with young Furiosa. This is a very sensitive subject, and I want to emphasize that it involves a fictional character. The details can be uncomfortable, and as an actor, my job is to portray a character based on the direction and script provided to me. I appreciate your understanding and support in recognizing the distinction between fiction and reality. Thank you.
Best, Nathan
