[edit]

Taika David Cohen[4][5][6] was born on 16 August 1975 inWellington,[7] and grew up in Wellington'sAro Valley suburb andRaukokore, a small town in theBay of Plenty.[8][9]

His father was an artist ofTe Whānau-ā-Apanui descent, while his mother, Robin Cohen,[10] was a schoolteacher of multiple ethnicities.[11] His mother's paternal grandfather was aRussian Jew whose family came fromNovozybkov, Russia.[7] Waititi stated that his mother's family were Russian Jewish, Irish, and other European ethnicities, while his father's side was "Māori and a little bit ofFrench Canadian".[12] His paternal grandfather, also named Taika, served as aMāori Battalion soldier during World War II.[13]

Identifying as both Māori and Jewish, Waititi describes himself as a "Polynesian Jew".[14][15] He was raised more connected to his Māori roots, in a household where Judaism was not actively practised[13] and identifies as an atheist who "puts more stock in indigenous beliefs."[16]

Waititi's parents divorced when he was around five,[17] and he was raised primarily by his mother.[8] He attendedOnslow College,[18] then studied theatre atVictoria University of Wellington where he graduated with aBachelor of Arts in 1997.[19]

Although his surname is legallyCohen, Waititi has been known primarily by his father's surname for most of his life.[5][6] He originally used his mother's surname, Cohen, for his work in film and writing, and his father's, Waititi, for visual arts endeavours.[4][20] Following the success of his first short film, he continued to use Waititi professionally.[21]

[But] what he's discussing is really smart."[80]

Waititi also directed afeature film adaptation of the documentaryNext Goal Wins prior to directingThor: Love and Thunder. The film, which had been delayed, was released on 17 November 2023,[81] afterArmie Hammer's scenes were re-shot withWill Arnett taking over the role.[82][83][84] The film premiered at the2023 Toronto International Film Festival to negative reviews.
