I wasn't bullied or anything at school, but I was quite shy and didn't speak up too much in class.
Theater was such a different school of acting. But it really is a foundation of everything. It's where it all started! And I feel like I learned so much.
I was never really bullied at school. I was pretty confident in terms of school work and teachers and I've never shyed away from much but a lot of people have come up to me and said that they were bullied at school and my portrayal of Neville has influenced them a lot in their lives and helped them out.
I love making people laugh, and to be able to be that humorous character was great. And I actually was very similar to Neville Longbottom. I was very shy and chubby-cheeked. I wasn't bullied at school, but I wasn't particularly outgoing. We were similar. And so I loved playing him.
I never went to drama school.
