So it&#8217;s been a good night.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>When did you realise you wanted to become an actor?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About four years ago. I started drama lessons just as a hobby, really, and then it all kicked off from when I started <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adolescence<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What inspired you to become an actor?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watching films, watching TV shows, watching certain actors, certain directors, watching how they work. And I took advice off other people. Well, I&#8217;d go on YouTube and search up &#8216;how do I become an actor?&#8217; Easy as that. So yeah, I was obsessed with it, and this is all a dream come true really.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Was The Drama MOB a good experience?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeah, it was a really good experience. It&#8217;s where I started off, isn&#8217;t it? So without doing those lessons and learning those improv skills and stuff like that, I wouldn&#8217;t have been able to do the show [<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adolescence<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">], so, yeah, it really helped me and taught me some certain skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How does it feel to be the youngest ever person to win an Emmy?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I haven&#8217;t even got my head round it yet. It\u2019s mad.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What have you watched recently that you would recommend?<\/h3>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Severance<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. That was a really good one. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paradise<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on Disney Plus \u2013 you need to watch that!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What would be your dream role?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spider-Man&#8217;s up there. [There&#8217;s] certain directors I want to work with, certain actors, stuff like that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What actors would you like to work with?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;m not going to say Jake [Gyllenhaal] because I say him in every interview, so [Leonardo] DiCaprio, Tom Holland, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino. I&#8217;m not sure [who else], I&#8217;ll have to think about that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Finally, what\u2019s next for you?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;ve got a comedy coming out next month-ish called <em>Film Club<\/em>, with Aimee Lou Wood.
