Meet Backrooms actor Robert Bobroczkyi, who’s 7ft 7 inches tall
It may be summer, but horror films are all the craze right now, the latest being Backrooms starring Chiwetel Ejiofor – but who is the actor playing Pirate Clark?
Directed by 20-year-old Kane Parsons, yet another YouTuber, the psychological thriller stars Chiwetel Ejiofor as Clark, a furniture salesman, who finds himself walking through a portal into an unsettling dimension – the “Backrooms” – of endless bare office rooms with fluorescent lights and eerie hallways. The film has already broken records, earning US$118 million worldwide and US$81.4 million in the US – making Parsons the youngest director to nab No 1 at the domestic box office. He’s also A24’s youngest filmmaker ever, per Deadline.
The film’s premise was inspired by Parsons’s viral YouTube miniseries, which was further inspired by a 2019 4Chan post about a fictional empty office space with yellow wallpaper and fluorescent lighting. “If you’re not careful and you noclip [glitch] out of reality in the wrong areas, you’ll end up in the Backrooms, where it’s nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in. God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you,” the post read.
As if that isn’t eerie enough, Ejifor’s Clark is not alone in the Backrooms. He is accompanied by a monster who resembles an obscure, distorted version of himself played by actor Robert Bobroczkyi.
