It’s only when you’ve seen them in two projects that you begin to grasp their range. Those old enough may recall Daniel Day-Lewis’s explosive cinematic entrance, playing both the priggish Cecil Vyse (A Room With a View) and the feral street punk Johnny (My Beautiful Laundrette) in two poles-apart but perfectly judged performances that arrived in the same year. I felt similarly when watching Harris Dickinson in Triangle of Sadness, which found him playing a vapid posh-boy model on a disastrous cruise. I couldn’t believe he was the same actor I had seen in the tiny independent, Scrapper, portraying a working-class father facing up to his responsibilities years after having abandoned the family home.It doesn’t help that Dickinson is so very pretty, he finds himself inevitably being typecast. And probably he will be more so since his latest film Babygirl, an erotic drama with Nicole Kidman that puts him firmly in the category of the Hollywood heartthrob. Louis Wise meets him as he makes this latest career leap, and finds out why he remains so determined to do things on his own terms. He’s currently got his pick of projects, plus his own production company through which he has directed a first feature. I will be fascinated to see where things go.Are you familiar with this week’s Aesthete, Mr Bingo? The illustrator and artist became famous for his Hate Mail, a service via which he would send postcards, on request, to strangers. They were fabulously rude. He has since built up a cult following and become a public speaker. He also took a year off and wandered naked around the world. Given his strident reputation, I was surprised to discover in our story that he is as vulnerable as he is funny. I recommend you look at his Instagram @mr_bingstagram, if you need a laugh. Are you a darts fan? The very British pastime played in pubs up and down the country has long lacked the slick commercial glamour that is offered by more established sports. Recently, however, a wider fanbase has been accruing around its players, inspired by young mavericks such as Luke Littler, the teenage darts prodigy who made headlines when he reached the world championship final last December. In the run-up to this year’s tournament, Rosanna Dodds followed the game and its exuberant champions in an attempt to understand why it has captivated a new generation. A combination of kebabs, free-flowing alcohol and fancy costumes all seem to play their part. On a more sophisticated note, we tour the growing bar scene in Athens, a city that has been the centre of an extraordinary resurgence. Chris Kontos is the man spearheading the natural wine renaissance, as well as nurturing new neighbourhood hangouts. Chris Cotonou is the man getting to the heart of the story. @jellison22
