Ben Mendelsohn Stuns in Monochrome at LA Event

Ben Mendelsohn looked effortlessly stylish as he stepped out for the exclusive An Evening With Andor event in Los Angeles on Friday to promote his new Disney+ show.

The Rogue One actor, 56, rocked a cool monochrome ensemble featuring a light blue polo shirt layered under a sleek black jacket, paired with matching tailored trousers.

He completed the look with crisp white sneakers, adding a relaxed yet refined touch to the red carpet appearance.

The Emmy-Award winning star exuded quiet confidence as he posed for photos, flashing his trademark smirk and keeping his hands casually tucked into his pockets.

The low-key but chic look was a far cry from the darker characters he’s become known for on screen – with Mendelsohn having played a string of villains throughout his impressive Hollywood career.

He is one of Australia’s most celebrated actors with starring roles in The Dark Knight Rises, Rogue One and Animal Kingdom.

Back in 2018, the critically acclaimed actor revealed he was once forced to work low-paying jobs to pay the bills.

He washed dishes at a restaurant in Sydney’s Bondi and was also employed at a Brumby’s Bakery during a career slump, according to the Herald Sun.

Reflecting on his incredible reversal of fortune since then, Ben said: ‘It’s been extraordinary. But that’s what has been very sweet about it – you don’t expect that in this business.’

He added: ‘I still drive around and look back on a lot of years where things were leaner. I am still happily spun out by it.’ 

The Melbourne-born actor has a history of playing villains in films, but recently said he doesn’t overthink the roles he plays.

In an interview with The Project, he said his penchant for playing bad guys has turned out ‘all right’ for him so far.

However, he said he’s ‘got a couple more feathers’ in his cap and would like to play more diverse characters in the future.

He is currently reprising his role as Orson Krennic from the 2016 movie Rogue One in the Disney+ spinoff Andor.

The show has been critically praised, with viewers praising its second season ‘the best TV show they’ve seen this year’.

Andor follows Cassian Andor, a character who first appeared in the 2016 movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

The series serves as a prequel to the film in the early days after the Galactic Republic became the Empire.

Among some of the very first to react to season two of Andor was critic Jordan King, who put it in his ‘top five’ shows.

He said: ‘It is the best TV you will see this year, and cements the show’s place in my all-time Top 5.

‘It’s mature, it’s knotty, it’s uncompromising, and it’s emotional in ways you won’t see coming. And *that* arc? Astonishing.’

The Observer echoed Jordan and wrote: ‘The second season, somehow, eclipses [the first] in an impressive fashion, building a masterful narrative arc that is undeniable in its prescience to the rising fascism around the world.’
