was there pinch yourself moments when kenneth branagh and mark rylance, tom hardy, with their moments when i met people i looked up to for so long. also just the scale of the set is insane. the first time i walked up and saw spitfires flying overhead, warships in the background, a kilometre of beachin in the background, a kilometre of beach in a set dress to look the time with extras. it is an insane thing, anyone with an a person, “— a person, —— viktor matter whether you're an actor, you learn to adapt and take it in as normal. when you watch the film, you reflect, thinking, that was insane. harry, you have had experience in a different world, the music world. you had to deal with all the attention that fionn will get used to now maybe. does it feel like a com plete to now maybe. does it feel like a complete change to you all quite a natural progression? obviously, the doing of it was so amazing. any time you get to work with who you are a fan of, in any format, it's a a privilege to be around, getting to watch them work. you want to soak as much up of it as you can. in terms of the
