He initiated and narrated the film Ten Canoes which won a Special Jury Prize at the 2006 Cannes Festival. Gulpilil has been a major creative influence throughout his life in both dance and film. He also had a major role in Baz Luhrmann's Australia (2008). He "dominated" the film The Last Wave (1977), with his performance as tribal Aboriginal man Chris Lee. He played a lead role in the commercially successful and critically acclaimed Storm Boy (1976). During these travels to promote the film, he met and was impressed with John Lennon, Bob Marley, Muhammad Ali, and Bruce Lee.Īfter his high-profile performance in Walkabout, Gulpilil went on to appear in many more films and television productions.
He travelled to distant lands, mingled with famous people, and was presented to heads of state. Gulpilil's on-screen charisma, combined with his acting and dancing skills, was such that he became an instant national and international celebrity. Roeg promptly cast the sixteen-year-old unknown to play a principal role in his internationally acclaimed motion picture Walkabout, released in 1971.
In 1969, Gulpilil's skill as a tribal dancer caught the attention of British filmmaker Nicolas Roeg, who had come to Maningrida scouting locations for a forthcoming film. Gulpilil has two daughters: Phoebe Marson and MaKia McLaughlin. Gulpilil retired from acting in 2019, and was diagnosed with lung cancer, which prevented him from attending the 2019 NAIDOC Awards, where he was recognised with the lifetime achievement award. After appearing in his first film, he added English to several Aboriginal languages in which he was already fluent.
