John C. Reilly stars in Archbishop Harold Holmes music video, a surprise visual release from Jack White for his 2024 album ‘No Name’. The video, set inside a Los Angeles church, features Reilly as a captivating, supernaturally charged preacher, infusing the project with his trademark charisma and eccentricity.
Collaboration Sparks Electric Results
Jack White and John C. Reilly share a friendship that goes beyond music. Reilly, fresh from launching his debut album ‘What’s Not To Love?’ under the alias Mister Romantic, was inspired to take on the role after discussing it openly with White. Their creative partnership allowed Reilly and director Gilbert Trejo full artistic freedom to craft the music video, with White anticipating the final cut as a surprise.
A Star-Studded, Unconventional Performance
Reilly’s performance captures the imagination, as his character channels blue electric energy from both the altar and his hands during his intense address to an unseen congregation. The music video’s cast boasts appearances from several notable figures: Sami Perez of Cherry Glazer; Staz Lindes, who is both the face of YSL Beauty and leader of the Paranoyds; Misha Lindes from Sadgirl; and Arrow de Wilde from the band Starcrawler. Each adds to the surreal and charged atmosphere that defines the video.
Creative Impact and Future Prospects
The ‘Archbishop Harold Holmes’ video stands out as an inventive addition to Jack White’s visual discography, marked by Reilly’s unpredictable energy and a bold artistic vision. With the involvement of musicians and artists such as Sami Perez, Staz Lindes, and Arrow de Wilde, the project strengthens connections across the music and entertainment worlds. Audiences and fans can expect heightened anticipation for future collaborations between White and Reilly, as their friendship continues to blur the boundaries between acting, music, and visual storytelling.
