Amazing acting by Alex Turner

Can someone please give Alex Turner a movie for him to star or play some fun supporting role? His acting in this video is one of the greatest I ever seen done by a musician/non-professional actor on a clip, without false notes or overacting. Very believable stuff.

He was fun to watch despite the dramas and terrors he goes through as he walks out from a night out with his mates, gets completely drunk and high, which sets him to a series of nightmarish confusing visions as he walks down to his girlfriend home.

It's such a troubled mental state of his that he never manages to answer the girl's messages, and instead he focus on visions of violence and sex among strangers who briefly interact with him. Creepy moments all the way, though some can find it funny.

I liked the opening with "Do I Wanna Know?" playing in the background as he talks his mates, they have a little chat at the pub then it moves to the title song. A pretty cool track from theirs, but the visuals and Alex acting and presence makes it a wild spectacle to enjoy. 10/10.
