Avan Jogia

“Horror films evoke a very specific type of feeling in you. We like to get scared. It’s a weird human thing.”

IF THERE’S ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE AVAN JOGIA, IT’S “UNDEFINABLE.”

From acting to writing to art, he refuses to do just one thing. “It probably franchise, (in theaters November 24th). “It’s about the beginnings and how all the myth and the lore of started. It’s cool to run around in that world.” A longtime fan of the video games the franchise is based on, Avan says “it was cool” to see director Johannes Roberts bring that world back to life. “Horror films evoke a very specific type of feeling in you. We like to get scared. It’s a weird human thing.” In 2019, Jogia released his first book, (Andrews McMeel Publishing). “I find joy when I get to explore, whether it’s books or movies or painting.” For Jogia, that joy can also be memes sent in from fans. “It’s art in a way. It’s a way of communicating shared human experiences and we all go, ‘Oh, I get that.’”
