Mason Gooding makes people feel seen
MASON GOODING
Having appeared on the big screen in Booksmart back in 2019, Mason Gooding — born and bred in LA — has appeared in a slew of feature lengths. The most recent was this year’s Valentine’s horror, Heart Eyes.
While each film reveals more of Gooding’s talent, the actor is keen to redefine that word. “A lot of times it feels as though the conversation around ‘talent’ begins and ends with the final product, instead of considering the pieces that go into that in any meaningful way,” the 28-year-old says. “This new wave of talent seems to be more cognisant of the machinations around their success and, hopefully, try to appreciate every piece of that.”
