Hello visitors,
This interview The Observer did was Jamie Bell was released earlier this week. Jamie Bell talks about his upcoming productions, his stint in New York, and life in Los Angeles.
Jamie Bell interview: This boy’s life
At 14, Jamie Bell beat 2,000 hopefuls to play Billy Elliot. A decade later, the boy from Billingham has 16 films under his belt and has worked with Clint Eastwood and Peter Jackson. But this summer he stars in Steven Spielberg’s Tintin – which is where, he says, the whole incredible adventure began
In a low-lit rum bar in a fashionably shabby corner of West Hollywood, Jamie Bell recalls the first time he saw a film in a cinema. “It was Jurassic Park,” he says. “I was eight years old and I was terrified because, you know – dinosaurs! They’re real!” He tells a good story. Plenty of animation. And the louder he gets the more Geordie his accent. “At the end, the credits said: ‘Directed by Steven Spielberg’ and I thought: ‘OK, I’m going to remember that name. Because he’s done something to me here, something important.’”
Sixteen years later, it’s happening again. In July, Bell plays the title role in Spielberg’s latest, The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of The Unicorn. It’s one of four movies that Bell has coming out in 2011, a bumper year for the 24-year-old actor. First up is The Eagle, a swords-and-sandals adventure adapted from Rosemary Sutcliff’s classic historical novel. And then comes Tintin, one of the most popular comic strips of the century, realised with innovative motion-capture technology by the world’s most famous director. “If you told that kid watching those dinosaurs: ‘You’re going to be working with that man…’” He shakes his head. “It’s just incredible. A massive milestone. It has monumental connections.”
Additionally, thanks to Philip, I have added scans of Jamie’s article in March 13th’s issue of The Observer. Unfortunately, the text is unreadable, so if you have better scans, please share with us by emailing me.
Other than that, thank you for visiting! Remember, you can follow Jamie Bell Online on Twitter or “Like” us on Facebook!
