CHATROOM
shot in Belgium and Canada. It’s about a young guy whose parents have passed away and he’s trying to fight for custody with his little sister. I play his girlfriend, so it’s a sad story looking at how much they care about the situation or whether they just want the money that will come with it. It was a really interesting choice of characters and the film’s tone and look is quite realistic. That was really good.
Are you a typical student? Haha! I’ve just started my third year at university studying English. I’ve been doing it part-time, so it’s worked out really well. In my first year I made two films – one I
completed in the easter holidays and another in the summer. My studies just happened to fit around those really well. My college was really supportive of me doing my own thing and was really helpful. The good thing is that what I’m studying and how I work put each other into perspective, so I don’t get too stressed out as they balance each other out. They really help each other.
You were recently at the Cannes Film Festival. How did you find it mixing with all the movers and shakers? Was there anyone special you got to meet? Oh, no we were sort of ushered around, unfortunately, and we didn’t get to see anyone. We were only there for one night, so we arrived in the afternoon with the festival in the evening then the next day we had to get ready to leave for the airport. So we didn’t get to hang out and meet any stars. But it was really exciting and I’m really proud to have got to talk about the film, and see it.

Your fellow Skins star Dev Patel shot to global fame with Slumdog Millionaire. Do you think you can handle being a celebrity as well as a young actor? I don’t think even Dev was ready; I don’t think people walk around saying like: ‘Yeah I’m ready to be really famous now’. I think Dev made a really great film. He did his job really well, but I don’t think it makes him a celebrity in any way; it makes him a good actor – which is what he is. That’s all I’m interested in – doing good work. I don’t know if I can cope with something like Twilight. I don’t think it’d be something I’d enjoy being involved with at all. I don’t think anyone can prepare for that kind of fame because it’s so surreal. Plus, it will change your life forever for better and worse. I’m just happy as things stand – I want to keep working and trying different things.
