I sometimes miss being on Tumblr. But just sometimes.
even my life isn’t as messed up as the tumblr search engine
do you ever tell people you’ll be going to sleep but then you don’t and you have to not do anything noticable online for the sake of it seeming as if you didn’t lie to them

Whenever I watch a movie of Amanda Bynes, I start to feel bad for her. I almost watched all of her movies: “What A Girl Wants”, “Love Wrecked”, “She’s The Man”, “Sydney White” and “Easy A”. She seemed like such a talented actress. She also seemed funny and sweet all the time in her movies. She had a breakdown and went downhill then though. I sincerely hope she gets better.
Well, like with every other audition, I had 3-4 auditions and it ended up with like 11 guys in Dublin for 6 hours of casting at the studio where we actually shoot Vikings. And we were almost there, we just needed to get the part. They picked us and mixed us up to find the 4 brothers. I never really auditioned for Ivar. Yeah. I auditioned for the other brothers, but 4 1/2 hours in, they came down to me and asked if I could read for Ivar. And I was sitting there sweating, nervous. I had to borrow scenes from my colleagues and learn the part in like a half an hour. And I couldn’t remember the words for the first 3 takes. Then I got it right, and I was playing opposite Jordan [Smith] who ended up playing Ubbe. It was a scene between Ivar and Ubbe, and I remember thinking for half of the day, that I have no idea whats going down with this thing. I ended up getting Ivar and I think Michael Hirst told somebody about that whole audition thing – it was my eyes and my movement. Having a physical challenge. suffering from osteogenesis imperfecta means doing more with the eyes instead of the legs.

I'm very happy that there was a turn of events that brought me to where I am right now, but at that time, I really needed to take a break.
The best thing my parents taught me was manners. My mum instilled good manners in me early on – minding your Ps and Qs, opening doors for ladies and that sort of stuff – and it’s something that’s stuck with me. It’s a quintessential British trait and it shouldn’t be watered down, although my missus may tell you I’m not as good with it as I think I am.

“When I was growing up, there were times I had to compete against boys in taekwondo, and I’d show them right away that I wasn’t someone to mess with. The boys’ mothers would scream, “Kill her!” so it was fun when I won.“
I really do hope that I can play, and story-tell in a way that is memorable. But I also really can’t say that, because God knows who’s going to remember me or who I will be remembered by, but if I get to play in the world of great stories, then I feel like that’s all I can really hope for as an actor. That’s it, really.
