American actress Brigette Lundy-Paine became famous through the film ‘The Glass Castle’ and the Netflix series ‘Atypical’. In November 2019, Lundy-Paine announced their gender identity as non-binary, and their gender-neutral pronouns are they and them.
Thomas Hauser photographed Brigette Lundy-Paine for NUMÉRO Berlin with hair support from Kosuke Ikeuchi.
She can now be seen in the American horror drama ‘I Saw the TV Glow’ by Jane Schoenbrun from 2024. The film is about two teen outsiders who bond over their love of a supernatural TV show in the late 1990s. Over the years, they begin to question their reality.
Playing the lead roles are Justice Smith and Brigette Lundy-Paine. The film premiered in January 2024 at the 40th Sundance Film Festival.
We read on Numéro Berlin: “Brigette Lundy-Paine are not short on passions. They started acting in their early adolescence and have been at it ever since. They are the former star of Netflix’s ‘Atypical’ but recently turned to stranger titles such as Amelia’s Children and A24’s ‘I Saw The Glow’, and the list goes on: They perform with the band Subtle Pride and also co-founded Waif Magazine.
Of all these changing interests, there is one constant: Paine is deeply passionate about others. ‘I really don’t go a day without acting out everyone that I walk by and encounter,’ says Paine. They also don’t seem to distinguish the project from the director. Each movie is an opportunity to swim around someone else’s consciousness. They have an unrepentant excitement to be a part of someone else’s world.”
