When you're younger, you get scripts that you are too young for and now I'm getting scripts, which I think, "I'm too old for this character." They can always shift things around to make it work and make the ages work. But I'm definitely getting more complex and interesting roles and less what you would expect. So I can experiment more and have a bit more freedom when I'm putting things on tape.
Asa ButterfieldIn terms of my relationships with a lot of the adult characters, when I was working with Harrison, it wasn't like a verbal agreement, but we both understood that because there was this constant tension between our characters, we couldn't say "Cut" and start acting normal. We had to keep an essence of that relationship in our characters off screen which is really important.
Asa ButterfieldDoing things that allow you to learn something are great and I love when you have an opportunity to discover a whole new part of the world.
Asa ButterfieldI still get star-struck by people like Harrison Ford, but I think it's become more natural and more a part of my life. You have to be professional and keep a straight face. You can squeal behind their backs.
