Now magazine has a new interview with Freddie Stroma in which he talks about working with Emma Watson in Half-Blood Prince, playing Cormac McClaggen, filming Quidditch sequences and more!
He's also supposed to be a bit of a bad boy, would you say you have a nasty streak in you too that makes you able to relate to him?
Once we started filming the comedy in Cormac became more obvious, so I wouldn't say that I needed a ‘nasty’ streak to play him. He's very arrogant and obnoxious but not a particularly evil figure. I'd like to think that there aren’t a lot of similarities between Cormac and I, I base a lot of my acting on behaviour I’ve seen in other people.
Did you have to do any complicated stunts?
I performed most of my stunts on brooms that were on rigs. They were quite complicated, there was a million things going through your head at the time. I particularly enjoyed one rig called ‘matrix rig’, which allowed you to spin every which way like a fair ground ride. One day we were filming and a bunch of bludgers were thrown at me, I had to just hit them away...I ended up hitting a light stand, a camera man, a costume man and managed to send one down a tube that was blasting air at me at the time. The filming was a lot of fun.
