deeds bell: This boyis ti

Jamie Bell recalls his first

cinematic experience. ‘lt
was Jurassic Park," he
says. ‘l was eight years
old and amazed because,
you know — dinosaurs! They
seemed so real! At the end
of the film, it said: “Directed
by Steven Spielberg" and
i thought: “l‘rn going to
remember that name — he’s

really impressed reef"

Now 24, Jamie has finally got to worlcwith Spielberg

oh'the'directo‘r’s latest project. ‘lf you'd told that
kid watching those dinosaurs: "You’re going to
work with him one day . . ’ lie shakes his head.
‘lncrediblel' So how did it happen? At 14 years old,
Jamie played the title role in Billy Elliot, a hugely
successful film about a young ballet dancer. Most
child stars prefer to distance themselves from
their early work as they grow up, but not Jamie; “it
wasn’t really acting to me. My real life at that time
was a bit like that of the boy l was playing, so the
awards lwon didn‘t feel like an achievement. The
achievement was getting the role.”

Billy Elliot includes a part where the boy leaves

home; something Jamie has done plenty of. ‘1
don‘t know where my home is. it moves with me
from one job to the next. llll always feel a strong
tie to my childhood neighbourhood. but I haven’t
yet created my own place, which is what you
start doing as a young adult.” Throughouthis
teens he made movies in exotic locations. it was
romantic and exciting, jetting off to pretend to be

line 35 someone else. But the adventure were thin. "it got
frustrating, because eventually you want to put.

down some roots and feel like: this is my place.‘

He currently lives in Los Angeles; his own choice.

‘lt wasn’t new. l‘d been coming here since lwas tiny.
it’s a film industry town. which I‘m comfortable

with When not making movies he explores the

coast, plays computer games or walks his dog.
lt seems perfect for Jamie — a city where almost
everyone is in the same bush ess, Jamie is a keen
supporter of. British football club Arsenal, which
might suggest a family tradition. But according to
Jamie, he first got interested in football because
he wanted to be accepted at school. fills a dancer,
1 had no idea about football, so I bought afootb'all
sticker book, and studied every paet -
asked my mum to get me a football shirt, and she
bought a red Arsenal one, so that was it’.‘_l_t didn‘t
occur to him to simply pick. the local If there
was ever an obvious path to follow, Jamie avoided
it, although he says he is now a pro'pertan.

Jamie has worked with worldwfamous directors in

his career. His films have all been well received,
and he no longer has . to audition. The more
suggestion, however, that life has been easy
makes him bristle, and it‘s obvious this is an
accusation he won’t accept. IIt‘s not like i iust Walk
into a room and someone gives me a job,’ he says.
Everything is a battle. Dancing was hard. work,
and then after Billy Elliot, lwas suddenly an actor,
but i didn‘t have a clue. Things didnt come easy.”

line 5‘

So when will Jamie move from portraying boys

to men? He knows he appears boyish, and he
embraces it. "I think it‘s great ~l get to extend my
childhood!‘ he says. '1 cant play school kids any
more. butl find young people interesting-to play.
Their energy is unmatched and tin" " phone
are intense} Jamie is not short of go

espite so many movies, he calls hlmselflasiy. ‘l

should be more motivated to do things,’ he claims.
And yet he does a lot, including screen writing
in his spare time. if he wasn‘t doing interviewa,
that‘s what he’d be doing today. He describes-it as
‘play’ rather than work, but clearly he takes "pla‘y‘
seriously. it seems inevitable that he'll move into
directing eventually. He's only just getting started.
