Alex Pettyfer Talks About "Stormbreaker
Working with Alicia Silverstone: ?I didn?t see her much except in the one scene. She?s great. It was a really hot day on the set because we didn?t have any fans that day. It was boiling, and she gave so much energy and you really come out of a scene with her great. She?s loved over here and she also is loved in England. They clap when her name comes on screen. It?s a privilege to have her on this film.?
Sharing Time on the Set with Mickey Rourke: ?He?s fantastic.
I always give everyone a clean slate before I meet them. First of all, he?s a gentleman. He gave me 110% on camera and off. I really don?t have any more words than respect for that guy. He helped me on the set.?
Pettyfer also got to meet briefly with the actor who plays his uncle, Ewan McGregor. ?Yeah, I did meet him. He was on set for two days. He?s a wonderful guy. I had lunch with him a couple of times. He?s very quiet in person, but he?s a fantastic actor.?
So, How Does it Feel to be a Heartthrob?: Pettyfer attended the London Premiere of Stormbreaker and was greeted like a rock star. ?I?ve only done one TV drama and it?s only been shown once so I?ve only been on tele once for probably about an hour or two hours, and I really didn?t expect anything. I got out of the car and obviously I had shaved my head [after the film], just to change my image. My biggest fear was that there might be 5 or 6 kids there who just want an autograph, and then I would walk in and do my press. I got out of the car and it was probably 3 seconds and 3,000 girls were screaming for me.
It was quite a big shock, especially as I had never done any big feature films or anything big prior to Stormbreaker.?
