David Wenham on the return of Johnny ‘Spit’ Spitieri: ‘Every second day someone comes up to talk about him’
Twenty-two years after Gettin’ Square became a cult favourite, the actor is back in the thongs and in court for Spit – ‘one of the happiest creative periods’ of his life
David Wenham avoided wearing thongs for 22 years. That’s ever since a scene in the 2003 heist caper Gettin’ Square, in which he slapped his way down a suburban street in thongs and leopard-skin briefs, on the run from cops. If you’ve ever tried running in thongs, you’ll appreciate the lasting limping.
“I probably would have done that more than 50 times. Jonathan likes many takes,” Wenham says of the film-maker Jonathan Teplitzky.
