Taylor Kitsch is featured in the July 2015 issue of Elle magazine. Clad in a denim jacket and jeans with an essential white tee, Kitsch poses on a motorcycle. Talking to the magazine about his True Detective role, playing Paul Woodrugh, Kitsch shares, “I didn’t know True Detective was going to be near as emotional. This season–fuck. I could feel Paul seeping into me. I’d be doing something or acting a certain way and think, ‘Oh, this isn’t me.'” The show’s creator Nic Pizzolatto continues, “Woodrugh is very internalized and required a performer capable of conveying difficult and contradictory emotions within an outwardly stoic façade. Kitsch is believably tough and resourceful and hard while remaining vulnerable, sensitive, and empathetic. It’s that mixture of hardness and softness and native authenticity that really captivated me.”
