Stanley Tucci, James McAvoy, Juno Temple, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rachel Weisz, you know, Guy Pearce, like they made me feel safe. They respected me as a fellow actor, but they were sensitive to the fact that this was my first time. This was new for me and it's special. And I think they obviously remembered that from from when they had started.

And so I wanted Elliot to have the same experience, really.

Yeah, I mean, I think as Stanley said, especially when the subject matter was so dire, I think I was really lucky, I'm sure just through the people that I was brought up with and maybe the fact that my dad is an actor as well. And just the way they are as people that like I didn't ever take it too seriously. I was very, very focused and very disciplined. But I...

knew that i needed to leave it at the door and i think that's the really incredible kind of uh the the capability that children have in general and and that's sort of i suppose what steve wanted to highlight in blitz like kids of course it's going to affect them in some way but they have this ability to just float through life to a certain extent that's not of course um

sidestepping the reality that, of course, everything affects everyone and it stays with you. Of course it does. But the fact that there was this levity from the very beginning, I think really helped me. And I was really, really lucky that so lucky. And I realise that now more than ever, that the filmmakers that I was working with in those first few years really promoted fun.

You know, Pete Jackson, Peter Weir, Amy Heckerling, who discovered me essentially. She was the first director that I worked with on a movie. And they were just great people to be around. And, you know, you have to remember about certainly about filmmakers is that they're big kids. They get into this because they want to stay in that world of make-believe.

They want to take something that's real and build something else from it. So in a lot of ways, it was such an incredible environment to grow up in where youth and Innocence is sort of encouraged in a way and play is never forgotten about. And I think that's really shaped who I am as an actor now.

Not as much as I'd like, to be honest. I think that kids need to be protected far more than they are. If a kid has a great chaperone, then that's amazing.
