“I’m just so thrilled to have been a part of it,” says Minty, who made a few films afterwards but gave up acting when he finished school. “It makes people’s day when they find out I’m the Feral Kid.”
Minty has no special knowledge of the latest Fury Road movie other than what he’s seen in the actual movie.
“I did see a reference to the little wind-up music box Max gives the Feral Kid [in Mad Max 2] so there’s a little nod to my character,” he says.
“I don’t remember heaps from back then but I know I was excited to be around the incredible actors and all the crazy costumes. Being eight years old, I had a ball.”
