Table of Contents
Actor Joel Edgerton discussed the themes of exploration and building a life in the wilderness, drawing connections between the American West and the history of Australia, in a recent interview set to air on Vanity Fair’s Little Gold Men podcast. The conversation took place during a live recording at the Regent Santa Monica Beach hotel, highlighting a partnership focused on immersive cultural experiences.
Edgerton highlighted the shared experiences of settling new lands, noting the parallels between the American movement westward and Australia’s own history of homesteading, pioneering, and exploration. He emphasized a respect for those who undertake the challenges of building a life outside of urban centers.
“America, that was about the movement west,” Edgerton said. “In Australia, we had our own versions of that, homesteaders and pioneers and explorers. I think, to put aside any politics around colonialism, this sense of people being the first to kind of move out into a space and make a life and grow their own food-I really have a lot of respect for people who have put themselves [to] the task of the hard work of building a life outside of a city, and rural people are very much an Australian identity.”
