No wonder they say a lot of men are like fine wine – they only get better with age. Taika Waititi, famous director and husband of Rita Ora, is clearly one of them.
Taika Waititi was born and raised in New Zealand, where he started his career. At first, the future Oscar and BAFTA winner dabbled in the stand-up genre and toured as part of comedy duo The Humorbeasts. At the same time, Taika became interested in cinema and began to shoot short films. One of his works, Two Cars, One Night, was even nominated for an Oscar in 2005, but it was still far from unconditional success.
During those years, Waititi looked different. Take a look at this photo from the opening of the All Roads Film Festival in Hollywood. Here, Taika looks more like a costume office than an art person. We’re sure that this knit cardigan certainly wouldn’t have captured Rita Ora’s imagination, had she met Taika in that distant 2004.
