cool mind
I wouldn't mind doing my own film on the big screen. That'd be cool.
cool seems work
I'd really like to work with Johnny Depp: he seems like a really cool guy; he can do a lot of different things.
asked auditions bigger dad kept liked
When I was 8, my dad asked me if I wanted to audition, just for fun. I did just a little short film, and I liked it. I just kept doing it, and then I started getting bigger auditions for bigger roles.
Usually, I think, every film I've made has been a book, and I've always read it.
dad teaches
My dad teaches me. He teaches me everything. He's been acting for over 30 years, so he knows a lot.
dreams
I wasn't bullied or anything, but I was treated differently because I was an actor, and I had big dreams.
across universal
In L.A., I live right across from Universal Studios.
chance geeky stay
I'm geeky about video games. I don't stay inside a lot and just play them 24/7, but if I had the chance, I probably would.
directing favorite love movies reason
I think, obviously, everyone has a lot of favorite movies, but I really for some reason just love Quentin Tarantino's writing and directing style.
based time work
I'm based in L.A., mainly. I'm pretty much there a lot of the time doing work.
interviews
Interviews are fun, but I get nervous at red carpets.
bit car choose maybe money
If I could choose any car in the world, I'd get a Lamborghini, but I think that's a bit too much money. I'll start off with maybe a V8 or something.
feels stuff
I've got to write about my character every day. I've got to find out where he lives, what bus he catches to school, and stuff like that. You've got to know every little thing about him so when you do it, it feels natural.
boy brought director family john love michael royal scottish works zealand
'Slow West' is a film that I did with Michael Fassbender in New Zealand and Scotland. The director was John McLean. It's a film set in the 1800s. I play a young Scottish boy brought up in the royal family. I fall in love with someone who works on our land.
