With all of my acting I have been busy this year but I am looking to go back to that side of things.
- It’s been a very busy year or so for you with the likes of Psychoville and now Chatroom so how do you go about picking your projects and roles?
Well it’s more to do with risks you want to take risks as a performer and being part of productions that are exciting. A movie such as this is hard work, we were doing twelve hour days, and for it to come out and for people not to even have an opinion and that’s kind of like ‘Oh man all that work’ I want to evoke emotion and reaction ‘Oh I love this’ or ‘Oh I hate it’.
I just want people to talk about it and strike a debate about it and that is what I love and what is very important to me.
- Chatroom boasts a great cast of Aaron Johnson, Imogen Poots and Hannah Murray so what was the feeling like on set?
It was fun man; we had a laugh (laughs) we were just buzzing around on the set. I had met Aaron before and of course I knew Hannah (the pair worked together on Skins) and it was really cool there was this good vibe and we just had a laugh.
The best day ever was when we shot at the zoo, it was absolutely the best day I have had in my life, because we got there early and we got to run around the zoo and look at all the animals before everyone else.
And in between takes we would go off and see the parrot shows and this that and the other and it was just wicked.
- Finally what’s next for you? Is Johnny English on the cards?
Yeah I just finished that yesterday.
- Great cast
It was just insane (laughs). I was doing this one scene and I had Gillian Anderson, Dominic West and Rosamund Pike all around me and I was like ’I don’t really deserve to be here but I’m just going to pretend that I do and go along with it.’ (laughs)
Chatroom is released 22nd December.
