I don't really have snacks,
but I guess like a sweet and salty popcorn, if I had to.
That would be the classic mix.
It's kind of more of a habit.
I don’t actually, I don’t know if I enjoy it.
I think it's just the habit of doing that. So, yeah.
My favourite cinema snack is salted popcorn.
Every single time.
People try overcomplicate it with salted and sweet, which is nice.
But for the classic cinema experience,
I just yeah, I want to go back to basics. Salted popcorn.
I think has to be popcorn. Mix of salt and sweety -
Salt and sweety? Salt and sweet, mix of the two.
I feel like going to watch a movie without a bag of popcorn,
I feel quite naked.
Oh, popcorn and a Ben & Jerry's.
Ooh!
Butter feels like a very American thing to like add into the mix.
And I'm not mad at it. When I cook it at home,
I cook it with butter, actually.
So yeah, it gives it that extra little bit of zhuzh.
Do I prefer going to the cinema alone or with friends?
I would have to say... Alone. Yeah.
I think it's just more personal in a way.
I like to let like a piece of film kind of resonate with me
for some time before I formulate like an opinion on it.
I probably like to go to the cinema more with friends than on my own.
I don't know. It depends on the genre, right?
Like sometimes I just want to see it by myself and immerse myself in it.
Sometimes, if it's a comedy, I want to have a laugh with my friends.
I generally prefer going to the cinema with friends.
I think it's better to share the cinematic experience with people.
I prefer watching movies on the big screen because then
I get to feel all the elements that the filmmakers have put into them.
And being an actor now I’ve come to appreciate that more.
So like you just get better sound than the sound you get from your laptop.
Do you know what I mean?
Having said that, though, I love being snuggled up
at home in a blanket.
That's actually really tough.
I love a big screen but I also love a little sofa moment.
But but... Big screen, big screen.
I'd say watching movies on the big screen, definitely, snuggled up on the sofa is fine
for like everyday activity.
But if you want a real experience I think you need to be in a darkened room
with a huge screen.
I prefer watching movies on the big screen.
I think that's kind of what they're, that's what they're made for, you know?
There's an element of going to see them with other people as well, that shared experience
The film.
Well, it depends on what the film is, sometimes they’re bad.
No, I really like trailers actually.
Being in a room with a massive screen.
And I like the sound.
I like the soundscape in the cinema.
My favourite thing about a trip to the cinema is the trailers,
because you get an eclectic of different, you know,
films that are on their way out, it gets you excited.
Yeah, that's why I like the trailers.
One of my favourite things about a trip to the cinema is to get to see the trailers,
because I'm notoriously bad at keeping up
with what's actually happening, even though this is my career.
So it helps me stay informed of what's actually going on.
And again, I think it's nice to get the cinematic experience of a trailer
rather than just watching it on my phone on YouTube while I'm on the tube, you know?
My favourite movie genre,
I think is like an indie romance.
I love like a indie love story and not a rom com, but a love story.
My favourite movie genre at the moment is probably like a psychological thriller.
I think my favorite movie genre is magical realism or anything
that has that element in it, but is very much story and narrative driven.
Oh, I don't know if I have a favourite genre.
I'm not, I'm not very specific.
I kind of, I'm in the phase where I'm just trying to try everything and
watch as many films as possible, and then I'll figure out what my tastes
are further down the line.
A genre that I really can not watch is gore.
I can't do it, like snapping bones and like organs coming out.
And I was going to be a doctor. Can you imagine?
I think it’s the people who do the sound effects.
They just make it sound like it's inside my own brain.
So, yeah, no, can’t do that. Can’t do gore.
One I can’t do at the moment is a rom com actually.
Just not in the mood, it’s coming up to Valentine's Day, it’s just getitng on my nerves.
A genre that I'm kind of
least likely to watch would be slasher movies, you know, like horror.
I don't mind horror as genre because it can really bleed into other
different types of work, but straight out jump scares and slasher movies.
Yeah, I'm not down.
The most exciting thing is just to be able to celebrate
this whole thing and to make films and to be able to be lucky enough
to even make films and audition for parts that are interesting.
And so to be noticed with these four candidates
and one of them is one of my best friends in the entire world.
So I'm just happy about that.
We’re going to get to celebrate all together, it’ll be really lovely.
I think the most exciting thing about being nominated as an EE Rising Star
is that you get to have a bit of a moment, you get to have a bit of a celebration.
You get to become aware that a wider audience is really resonating
with your work, and it's a really encouraging moment.
I guess moving forward,
it says that people are maybe excited about what you're doing
and kind of encouraging you to the future.
To get to go and celebrate with everyone that has like helped me to get here
and to cheer on other people and then go and have a great party afterwards
and just celebrate the film industry and how much we all love it.
The most exciting thing about being nominated for this award
is the opportunity to meet the other nominees,
some of whom I knew from before, some of whom I didn't know.
But I think what's so great about what BAFTA and EE do for this award
is they create lots of opportunities for us to talk to you guys
and to support each other.
So I've really enjoyed getting to know them and it's always
really fun, rather than just turning up on the day and seeing who wins.
And it also means that, for me, it takes the kind of competitive nature out of it.
So for me, I'm like, we're all winners at this point.
And yeah, whoever wins I’ll be screaming their name.
he's beginning to believe you know this from it's from The Matrix.
Come on.
God, I should research this.
We could
the most iconic movie line of all time.
You know what?
One of my favorite and most iconic movie lines of all time is
that last line in Babe.
When he says that will do Paik. That'll do.
Yeah, that's a brilliant line.
Yeah, It's very sweet, nostalgic descriptions of what film is the guilty pleasure
now and
what do you think of something so funny maybe line of all time
I think thought and there's a few
and I'm going to miss.
I mean this. Harry met when Harry met Sally.
There's some great ones and that was I'll have what she's having.
And then at the end I'm going to paraphrase
it really terribly when, when Sally says to Harry
C and then you go and say something
that makes it impossible for me to hate you, and I really hate you.
I really hate you. Stop it. Always gets me.
I like I have.
What film is he? Guilty. Pleasure.
I don't have any guilty pleasure films.
I feel no guilt about my movie watching.
I've watched like I was actually saying today, Dirty Dancing.
That's not a guilty pleasure at all.
But I make sure I watch at least once a year.
I've said this.
I was like, Yeah, the film that I revisit time and time again is coming to America.
I know every word.
Yeah, I went through a phase where I would like watch it
while I was getting ready for school, like every day when I was a teenager.
I don't know why, but yeah, I know every single
word of that film, every single inflection
idea.
It brings
is What is your gut feeling?
This is
what film is my guilty pleasure.
I don't know if it can even be defined as guilty pleasure. I'm quite proud.
I mean, I love Ratatouille.
I love That's not a guilty pleasure.
It's an excellent film.
Notting Hill.
Notting Hill is.
But again, great film is a guilty pleasure.
But I would say I would say Notting Hill, I guess. Yeah.
It's a movie that Europe is it time and time again?
Yeah, right. To Hook.
Hook is one of my favorite films
there, so I should
probably say something more intellectual, but I would look is the perfect.
Well, let's just have it as.
