okay I went to watch I'm in La so I went to Netflix got to watch it on the big screen
and I literally my jaw was dropped the entire time you killed it thank you have you seen it
all the way through yet um yes I've seen it six times six times do you ever get sick of it or do
you slub it every single time I noticed something different each time and I just wanna yeah I could
watch it all day if I could yeah going back to when you found out you got the part how when did
you audition and then when did you find out and so I auditioned when I was 10 and and I go to a
stage school called talented kids and they sent me in to see if I want to do a self tape and so
I sent off the self tape because I was like yes definitely I'd love to um self tape for it and
then I was meant to fly over but because of covert I couldn't so I did over that whole year a kind of
covered slowed kind of everything down so I did them on zoom and then when covert had died down
I got asked to fly over and do one in person and then two weeks later on my mom's birthday
I was meant to do like another Zoom I think and yeah everyone was like Matthew wants to talk to
you and I was like I didn't really know what to think because it could have been nowhere yes like
Sim symbol could have been yes or no so I didn't want to get too excited in case it was a no so um
when he said I got the part I just my whole family was there my sisters and my dad and my mum and my
dogs so we were all just shocked and we couldn't believe it and I just burst into tears because
I was so happy I wish we're in the timeline so it was like a lot built up you know yes that's crazy
have you always wanted to be in movies and in TV shows and stuff and have you always been like a
kid on camera and my I've got two older sisters Katie and Emma Jane and they kind of they did
it before me so when I was born I just kind of grew into it and I'd follow them around in the
car you know dropping them and picking them up and I was just waiting until I was old enough so when
I could get in there and start so I think I just kind of grew into it and it was something that
I always wanted to do what did your sister say to you do you remember when they found out that
you got the part because obviously they've been doing it and then you booked this massive role
I think they were just really proud of me and they were like we just all couldn't believe it we were
shocked I we didn't I didn't know how because I I knew there was like thousands of incredible um
kids that must have auditioned so I don't know how but I was really grateful that it did happen and
you are you do you use tick tock um sort of okay yeah so okay so with social media like obviously
when Netflix films comes out people tend to blow up on social media so are you kind of waiting for
the storm of everything to come in or are you just kind of excited for everybody to see it
I'm just really excited for everyone to see it and because it's been over such a long
period of time I can't wait for it to finally come out and that everyone can see it and yeah
I'm just really excited and you did a red carpet already so how did you feel walking the red carpet
very very surreal like people were like how does it feel and I was like I just can't believe it
like it just doesn't feel real at the moment I don't know if it will ever sink in what what has
just happened but I it was just really surreal how long did it take you to get ready hour maybe
half an hour do you love doing Glam like do you like getting your hair done making sure
your nails are done are you kind of like a tomboy no I like getting my hair I don't have my nails
done and are you okay so when you're not doing the whole acting thing what is what do you love to do
friends and see my friends at school and when I was in primary school there was like
um a Gaelic football team so I played that with some of my friends because my friends were doing
it and just kind of seeing my friends and yeah hanging out baby kid yeah what would you say
was the hardest scene to film um so probably the hardest but my favorite maybe to film was when I
got it it was a bit in naughty where I had to go upside down and sing it was probably hard because
I had like a lot of different things to think about because like when I had to go up there I had
to make sure like I was in the correct position I wasn't gonna fall and then I also had to like sing
up there and listen out for the music and all but it was definitely one of my favorites because it
was so much fun as well um so yeah did you ever think you'd sing upside down in a Netflix movie
no no never thought that happened in the film Matilda has to lean on Miss honey a lot like she
confides in her for advice and obviously guidance and stuff like that who would you say in your real
life do you confide in and go to for the most advice well I think my family and my friends my
mum and my dad and my two older sisters and also my grandparents and my dog but all my family and
my friends have always been there for me so that's who I go to okay quick game until we have to wrap
it's this or that so there's two scenarios and you'll pick okay okay candy or ice cream
um sweets like candy candy sleep in or get up early sleep in yeah water park or amusement
park water park um singing or dancing they have a preference of what one of the other
hmm
[Music]
maybe yeah both both Matilda would say both so we'll go with both
um fly or be invisible what superpower would you want invisible
invisible live in the sky or live under the sea
live in the sky good Matilda moment when you're up there and yeah
read or watch TV
Matilda would say read definitely um
what Alicia say um maybe it depends on what I'm feeling
okay it's a mood thing yeah it's a mood okay last one give advice or ask for advice Maybe
I mean if you give advice surely you know like you don't need to ask for
advice because you know what's going on yourself so you don't need to ask advice
if you are giving advice so maybe give give advice yeah love the train of thought you're
amazing congratulations on Matilda and I can't wait for the world to see this
