something that did really upset me i was in new york i was shooting the crowning crowded room

and i was having a really hard time with the job just because of how taxing it was the emotional

capacity that i was having to get to every day

and i decided to delete my instagram because i just felt like i was

so addicted to this kind of false version of my life

that it was just taking over i would be on set working i'd come

and sit in my chair and just scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll

and it was it was becoming a problem i was just obsessed with it

and i was obsessed to find out what people were saying

and how people what they thought about me

so i decided to make an announcement which unfortunately we have to do

and say that i'm taking a break from social media

and i and i try to position myself

and say like i'm taking a break from social media

because i feel like my mental health will benefit from it

and the thing that really upset me is the press ran with

that and they tried to make out that i was having this mental breakdown

and what upset me was

if i was having a mental breakdown

that's not for you to report on they they took the story in the wrong direction

and they tried they painted again

this negative light on mental health rather than saying oh he's doing it it's okay

that he's doing it

so we should all feel okay to do it too

they were saying oh look he's not the perfect happy -go -lucky kid

you think he is he's having nervous breakdown in new york

and i think that that was a really unfair line of journalism let's say

because i just think it again kind of painted people looking for help in the wrong light

if you know what i mean yeah yeah absolutely absolutely it almost sounds like you were actually preemptively

going i'm doing this so that i don't right go in

that direction totally at least i'm not trying to words in your mouth

but absolutely it's almost like i'm proactively seeing

that i could end up in a position where sure

i might have a breakdown i don't want to be in

that position and

so i'm responsibly saying guys i'm taking a break right in order to protect myself a hundred percent yeah

which makes a lot of sense and actually is quite admirable again totally

and that's kind of what the message of the show is about like the the message of our show is

that asking for help should be something that we celebrate yeah

if you're struggling if you need help if you feel bad

and you wake up and

and you go to a friend a therapist a teacher an employee

or a colleague and say i'm really struggling i need some help

that should be something

that we give you a pat on the back like i would love to help you

that i'm delighted that you asked me and that for me

that announcement was kind of my olive branch

and the press ran with it how they ran with it

but to be fair it kind of gave me a great drive to finish the crowded room in the way

that we did to like

if you're not going to listen to my personal message

then you have to listen to the message of my show yeah

so it kind of went hand in hand yeah

it doesn't have to be a professional yeah i go to my friends a lot

and and you know some friends are better than others in certain situations i've got some friends

that are very much like pull your socks up

and get on with it and then other friends who are like come here

and have a cry on my shoulder but like it it varies

so i just really hope

that that's what the show could do is sort of paint

this positive picture of asking for help is something to be proud of well that's a great message

and i think we all need to hear it my mum has always been really hands -on with our education

she you know really wanted us to just do our best our dad always said like look

i don't care what grades you get as long as you try your best you try your best

and that's all that we can ask for

but yeah my dyslexia it's really just my spelling i mean honestly it's just

that yeah you know like those sort of games

that you play at christmas have you ever played um the one we have to write down the answers

that is such a good game is it balderdash

i don't know balderdash is it uh it's basically a game where someone will read out a scenario

or um right ask a question

and then you have to answer the question to the best of your ability

but you can also bluff

and lie oh i've never played this game right somewhat a believing answer

and people vote for your answer you win oh cool okay i've never played it

which is great but when i play it everyone's like what does

that say that is definitely not spelt right good um but yeah

so my spelling was really the biggest hurdle um i worked really hard at school i didn't do particularly well

but again my parents said as long as you try your best

then that's all we can ask for i do believe in manifesting actually

i really do i think what's interesting about my career is this was never something

i wanted i just was a young kid

i loved dancing my mum would take me to a dance class every saturday

and i got spotted through

that dance class to to audition for a show on the west end

i ended up doing the show i loved it billy elliott

it was a time of my life i you know

it was such a cool experience i'm just by complete fluke an agent came to see the show the night

that i was on she signed me

she sent me to an audition for a film

i was lucky enough to get the part all of a sudden i was on set with ewan mcgregor

and Naomi Watts and we made the impossible

and to be perfectly honest with you it was it was just a hobby it was something

that my mum would let me do on the summer holidays she was very keen

that I kept my schooling up and there sort of came

that time in England where you're in between GCSEs and A -levels

and you're trying to figure out when I was going through

that you could still drop out at A -levels obviously now you have to do A -levels

and I had that moment where I was like what do I want to do I could try

100

and stay at school and figure out what I want to do

101

or this thing that's been a hobby but my sort of summer holiday activity

102

which is acting I could try and do that for a living

103

and I've been so lucky that I've been you know offered jobs and all that sort of stuff

104

I decided to go with it I joined the Brit school

105

because you know my mum was keen

106

that I didn't go for school for an education

107

but went to school to expand my social skills

108

and meet kids my own age all my friends

109

when i was 15 were like 30 year old people

110

because they're all adults from the business um

111

so i think my mom was keen that i had some friends

112

that are my age who are now my best friends today

113

so i never really wanted this i just sort of never stopped doing it

114

and i love it i absolutely love it i love the creativity i love the building blocks

115

that are required to put a film together

116

i love the collaboration on set between people from all different walks of life

117

you know a film set is a melting pot of all sorts of different people um

118

so i love it i absolutely love it yeah wow and

119

and i i read something

120

that you said you were bullied for like doing ballet yeah right

121

which obviously got you into the playing the role of billy ellick

122

because it's ballet and tap right it's both so was was

123

that was that tough at the time

124

or like were you trying to hide it

125

and then you end up on you know you end up at the west end

126

and you're on the main stage and everyone's seeing it

127

or was it kind of easy to navigate and how did

128

that go down because i feel like as a kid doing ballet

129

and tap must have been a little challenging yeah i mean it was it wasn't easy

130

but it also wasn't tough you know i went to a rugby school

131

so you can imagine like the one kid in the school

132

that does ballet there's going to be comments here

133

and there it wasn't the easiest thing in the world there were kids

134

that didn't understand why i was doing it

135

or what i was doing it for no matter how many times

136

i explained like i'm the only guy in a class of 30 girls in tights

137

i was like guys this is what you want to be doing like rugby is not it

138

but i nah it was tough

139

but again like it goes back to what we were saying about resilience

140

and keeping your head down

141

and crowded room was the hardest job i've ever had for all sorts of different reasons

142

and there was a point in time where we were talking about do we shut this down

143

and walk away from it because of how challenging it was

144

and you know i dug my heels in i put my head down was like no

145

i'm going to finish this i'm going to see it through

146

and i think you know you learn from past experiences like

147

that so i really am proud of the way we everyone handled the crowded room

148

and i think that stems from my childhood my dad's experiences

149

and all that sort of stuff yeah me as an actor i realize

150

that my job is a high pressure job

151

because it reaches millions of people but that said there are

152

so many people

153

that help me get to where i need to be i

154

get picked up someone makes me breakfast someone writes the words

155

i'm supposed to say someone chooses my costume someone does my hair

156

and makeup someone sets the camera up ultimately I walk onto set

157

and I do my bit but I'm a small part in a massive machine

158

but when you look at someone like Djokovic or Federer

159

or you know this new Alcaraz you know or the golfers or Lewis

160

Lewis is slightly different because Formula One is so much about the team

161

and the car and all

162

that sort of stuff they have to do it themselves at a certain point there's only

163

so much help they can get but then when they walk onto

164

that court for the first time when they walk into the ring

165

or into the octagon it's them by themselves they're under

166

that amount of pressure it's up to them whether they deliver

167

or not and i just have always been admiring of seeing some of the greats lose their win streak

168

and come back even stronger i've always really been an admirer of people

169

that are able to do that i think it's a folly

170

when you see these win streaks of 50 and 0

171

and all that sort of stuff and you're like well

172

that to me isn't what a champion is a champion is someone who had it all lost it all

173

and got it right back again Tyson Fury's story is a crazy one I'd love to see AJ come back

174

and be on top again because I'd love to be alive to witness

175

that legacy that he would leave behind you know I feel sorry for him what happened to him

176

when he sort of seemed to really lose it a little bit in the ring

177

when he took the microphone and I'd love to see him back on top

178

and to to have some clarity and to be a champion again

179

because I admire him as an athlete

180

so I save most of my admiration for athletes

181

and musicians i love musicians

182

i see someone like ed sheeran yeah 80 000 people in the palm of his hand

183

i think comedians are equally as talented the ability

184

that they can just go on stage and make people laugh that is terrifying

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
