Director Kirk Jones Risked It All To Make I Sware Biopic With Robert Aramayo

I just heard about this movie coming out in 2025 and I’m already intrigued. It’s a biopic starring Robert Aramayo – you might recognize him from Lord of the Rings – and he’s playing John Davidson, a Scottish activist who lives with a really severe form of Tourette’s Syndrome. Basically, it’s a genetic condition that causes involuntary movements and sounds, what they call ‘tics.’ A lot of people probably remember Davidson from the incident at the BAFTA awards a while back. He unexpectedly yelled out a really offensive slur while Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were presenting. He’s apologized, both publicly and privately, and explained it was due to his Tourette’s, saying the condition is often misunderstood. But honestly, it caused a huge uproar online, and a lot of people weren’t buying the ‘it was a tic’ explanation. BAFTA even had to release a statement taking responsibility for putting everyone in such an awkward position and apologizing to everyone involved. It sounds like a really complex and challenging story, and I’m curious to see how the film handles it all.
