28 Years Later 'Alpha' Chi Lewis-Parry Reacts To 1 Big Part Of The Film That's Got Everyone Talking

Chi Lewis-Parry at the premiere of 28 Years Later last monthEven if you’ve not seen 28 Years Later yet, the chances are you’re aware there’s one big part of the film that’s really got people talking.The sequel to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later introduces new variants of the “infected”, including the so-called “Slow-Los”, more zombie-like beings who shuffle close to the floor in search of worms to eat, and “Alphas” who are more physically dominant and powerful – and also have the unique trait of walking around completely nude.Because the film’s protagonist Spike was played by teenager Alfie Williams, it was a requirement that all of this nudity be achieved through the use of prosthetics, with that of Chi Lewis-Parry, who plays Samson, really capturing people’s attention.Chi – who was an MMA fighter before becoming an actor – recently spoke to GQ about the reception his character has received, enthusing: “I’m here for it, man!”Chi as Samson in 28 Years Later“No matter how bizarre people’s reactions might be, it’s all part of the world we’ve created, and I’m proud of it,” he insisted. “So if people want to talk about my willy, they can talk about my willy.”He also shared that while his first reaction to his prosthetic may have been “that’s gonna be out, just walking around”, he and his colleagues quickly got used to it.“To be honest, I was so involved in that character, that it wasn’t anything I was really thinking about,” he claimed. “That big swinging dong just happened to be a byproduct of Samson.”On why Danny Boyle chose for the “infected” character to be so uniquely endowed, Chi offered: “Danny is quite poetic in the way that he speaks, and he doesn’t do things by accident. He’s quite methodical. I find there’s an art in that.“[Samson] is an evolved man who’s been infected for the last 28 years, and a natural part of that evolution [is that] if he’s growing in size, everything’s gonna grow. So it’s not surprising that his penis is very large.”Danny Boyle at the premiere of his film 28 Years LaterLast month, Chi explained to Variety: “There’s a law that states, I think, because [Alfie is] a child, you’re allowed to have nudity but it has to be fake nudity. It was to protect him.“And, as well, I’m really friendly and am always hugging people. I wouldn’t have been doing that if I was fully in the nip!”28 Years Later’s sequel, titled The Bone Temple, was shot simultaneously with the most recent film, with filmmaker Nia DaCosta on directing duties.It’s not known yet whether Chi’s character will appear in the follow-up, but what has been made clear is that it will expand more on 28 Years Later’s mind-boggling final moments.Read Chi Lewis-Parry’s full GQ interview here.MORE FILM NEWS:17 Behind-The-Scenes Secrets You Probably Didn't Know About How 28 Years Later Was Made28 Years Later Viewers Are Still In Shock From That Teletubbies Callback In The Wild Final Scene28 Years Later Director Danny Boyle Reveals Meaning Behind That Truly Wild Twist Ending
