VIDEO EXCLUSIVE: Ryan Corr On Filming His New Film ‘Sting,’ His Secret Fears

Actor Ryan Corr revealed his greatest fear while he looked back on his experience on set for his film Sting in his new uInterview. 

“The premise is, a giant alien spider from outer space finds its way into a New York City apartment, and more particularly to a young Charlotte, who she befriends, and as she sort of raises this spider and it grows,” Corr told uInterview founder Erik Meers. “The problems in the nuclear family and the issues that are possibly in the relationships there start to grow as well. They have to come together to fight this alien spider and the elements that are coming up in the family. 

Of his character Ethan, Corr said, “Ethan is Charlotte’s stepfather and Heather’s husband. For me, this film was an homage to stepparents. I’ve grown up myself with two wonderful stepparents, and I always thought the dynamic was really interesting. I think the best films are always personal.”

Corr clarified he was drawn to the film due to the visionary nature of the director, Kiah Roache-Turner, and his connection with the material. “All the best horror films, all the best films that scare you, ultimately stem from something at the core,” he said. “Whether that be a fear of spiders or a fear of getting it right, I always think there’s an element underneath—for the best ones, anyway. Otherwise, you don’t care.”

Corr revealed his greatest fear is not spiders. “I’m not a big fan of sharks,” he said. “Growing up in Australia, there’s a lot of them.”

The actor enjoyed spending time on set doing scary stunt scenes. “We got into a lot of the practical stuff; we were being chucked in webs and hung upside down,” he said. “It’s a lot of fun shooting those things in a way, but it’s also kind of taxing because you’re screaming all day and fear life, and it’s very physical.”

Corr is known for his role in House of the Dragon and the Australian drama series Packed to the Rafters and Love Child.

Sting is now in theaters nationwide.
