Before Oscar Isaac was MoonKnight, he was on the cover of Rolling Stone. In our profile, he grappled with newfound fame, played some acoustic guitar, reminisced about discovering weed, and tried to convince us he wasn't a movie star.
Isaac still lives in the same one-bedroom apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, he bought before his career’s recent uptick. He doesn’t own a car . He did at least renovate his Brooklyn place, and purchased homes for his mom and sister. He’ll consider a larger apartment if he has kids, or, as he puts it, “if I duplicate or replicate.”
“Devotion” fails to reflect the circumstances of its composition, though it does sound like something you’d write while missing your girlfriend. The melody is strong, with a Jeff Buckley-like feel. “I have released myself from fear,” Isaac sings in the chorus, in his supple, sweet-toned voice, stretching out the pronoun. “But I go crazy when you’re not here.”
On a corner couch, Isaac’s childhood friend and longtime musical collaborator Bruce Ferguson is following his chord changes on electric guitar. He and Isaac are an amusingly incongruous pair: lanky and bespectacled, with a scraggly beard, Ferguson looks like the astrophysics Ph.D. candidate he once was . In their own school days in Florida, the pair collectedrole-playing game, so Isaac had his friend help him formulate ideas about playing Apocalypse – a part he embraced out of pure fandom.
As Isaac’s dad completed his medical training, the family moved from Baltimore to New Orleans, then settled down in Miami when Oscar was six. In kindergarten in Louisiana, he somehow went around believing that his family came from the Soviet Union. “I don’t know where I came up with that,” he says. “I’d tell all the kids I was Russian and we’d play war.”
