Jack Champion Facts
- Jack started acting in school plays when he was about 8 years old. About 3 years later, in 2015, he made his acting debut – with a minor role in American Genius, a documentary series focusing on the lives of inventors and pioneers who shaped the course of history.
- In 2017, he attended a screen test that was being conducted for the casting of Avatar: The Way of Water, the sequel to the 2009 epic science fiction film titled Avatar. After 4 months of extensive auditions, Jack was cast for the role of Miles ‘Spider’ Socorro, a human teenager living amongst the Na’vis, a fictional indigenous species that live on Pandora, the fictional habitable exomoon that serves as the key setting for the Avatar series of films.
- Due to the nature of Jack’s role in Avatar: The Way of Water, he had to film all his scenes twice – about 2 years of performance capture on a soundstage that was followed by about 2 and a half years of shooting all those scenes in live-action mode in New Zealand.
- His character also required him to sustain a muscular physique throughout shooting – because his character stays shirtless in the movie. To achieve this, he had to exercise daily with a personal trainer and ingest foods that were high in protein content.
- Jack also had to learn freediving (a form of underwater diving that relies on breath-holding until resurfacing) and scuba diving (underwater diving wherein divers use breathing equipment that is completely independent of a surface air supply) as a lot of his scenes had to be filmed underwater.
- After nearly 5 years of shooting, Avatar: The Way of Water was released in December 2022. By March 2023, the film’s gross worldwide earning was more than USD 2.296 billion – making it the 3rd highest-grossing film of all time.
- In parallel with Avatar: The Way of Water, Jack also filmed scenes for the next 2 films in the Avatar series – Avatar 3 (set for a 2024 release) and Avatar 4 (set for a 2026 release). These scenes were shot well in advance to ensure that Jack, a teenager, would not age out of his role.
