When I meet girls, I pray that they don't know who I am. But I know that's limiting myself quite a lot.

london directors reason
When I do go to L.A., it is usually for a reason - to meet with a director or something - but I'm always so happy to go back to London.

On a Friday night, I like to go out because my friends, who have been working normal hours, just want to let go after a stressful week at work.
dog girlfriend night
I like to wake up late, around 11 A.M., especially if I have been out the night before. Then I go to brunch with either my friends or my girlfriend. I then like to just chill out: read the papers, read some scripts and then take it very easy. If it's sunny, I go for a walk with my dog, Niles, in the countryside.

It's really important to take time for yourself because if you don't know what it is like to be a real person and spend time with a sense of normality, how can you play normal people in films?

I dreamt of being an actor ever since I was young.
drama school kids
I wanted to become an actor. I went to Guildhall School of Music and Drama, which is one of the main drama schools in London where you go when you are older. But I was doing the junior one when I was a kid. And some friends there had agents. I was fourteen and I was like, "I want an agent! It sounds awesome!" I had no idea what that was. I thought those guys looked like men in black. They were hanging around in suits all the time. So I luckily got a very good agent in London and started auditioning. And then when I was 16, I got my first film and I've been working ever since.
