Finn Cole catches up with Kyle Meredith to talk about Last Breath, the true-life deep-sea survival thriller that finds him playing a saturation diver stranded at the bottom of the North Sea. The Peaky Blinders alum gets into the intense training he and Simu Liu underwent to shoot underwater with real gear, how they learned to stay calm in a literal pressure cooker, and how scuba diving actually overlaps with acting when it comes to breathing, focus, and presence. Listen now.
Cole also reflects on his Peaky Blinders character arc, saying it was tough to watch Michael Gray shift from fan favorite to divisive villain — but ultimately, a gift as an actor. He adds that working alongside talents like Cillian Murphy and Helen McCrory taught him how to be the kind of scene partner who can be relied on completely.
Elsewhere, he gets into his blues guitar obsession, his dream of playing John Martyn in a biopic, and that moment on set when the dive crew blasted Underworld’s “Born Slippy” through underwater speakers and turned on the disco lights at 4AM. “There’s a video of me doing full dad dancing,” he laughs.
