I think they grow on each other and she reveals that side of herself. Obviously that experience helped with the fact that she mothers you in the film.Īt the start (her character) is not very comfortable around children and she doesn’t see herself as being very maternal. I liked in the film that we saw a bit more of a maternal side of Angelina Jolie. It was really fun to have that relationship with her outside of the film. We had a lot of bonding time, we went swimming and barbecuing…we hung out a lot on the weekends. You use little plastic pellets that you shoot at each other. I understand Angelina Jolie took you paint-balling as a bonding exercise? They sent me over to Los Angeles for an audition with Angelina and Taylor, and I was incredibly nervous – it’s always nerve-wracking – but they liked me and I got the call the next day! I did a self-tape in the lounge room with my mum, and they liked what they saw. It was a big leap from working in Australia to America, especially alongside Angelina Jolie and (director) Taylor Sheridan. Did you expect to garner such a massive project so soon?ĭefinitely not. Making the move from Australian productions to international isn’t always the easiest transition. I had a lot of family and friends there, people who said I did “alright” (laughs), so it relaxed me. It was still weird to watch myself on screen, worrying about what everyone was thinking and if they liked it or not. Were you able to enjoy the film given you had so much support at the screening? Are you able to distance yourself from what’s happening on screen? You mentioned at the screening that you don’t like watching yourself on screen. It’s always so great to see local talent thrive. As a young boy on the run from relentless assassins, Little was in fine company with the action-proven Jolie, and as the film prepares for its local cinema rollout – before arriving in both theatres and HBO Max in the United States – Peter Gray caught up with the young star to discuss the making of the film and his unique bonding excursion with Angelina.Ĭongratulations on the film.
