 “I guess the technicalities you have to overcome at the start to work on the getting the important characteristics down,” Highmore adds, “Also, you got to trust the people you’re working with a lot and the animators and stuff. They’ve done such great stuff, so you just put your trust into what they’re saying and get on with that.” Highmore claims that much work was required to pull off believable performances. Not only was he playing two distinct twin boys, but Freddie had to often interact with inanimate objects like tennis balls, that would stand-in for the CGI that is added later in post-production. However, the young actor says that he took the overall experience in stride and it particularly paid off when he got to see the finished film. “It was fun,” Freddie says, “It was kind of weird seeing yourself in two places at once in time.

He reinforces this point when he’s asked about what film projects he’s got down the pipeline for the future. “I just got school and stuff in May and June, there’s some big exams you got to do in England,” Freddie notes, “So just like everybody else, I’m going to be taking them and ... |
