Interview Of Dominic Sherwood with Hypable
What was it like to audition for the role and were you aware of the fanbase?
No,no,no no, I wasn’t. I missed the books they were a little out of my age range but when my agent called me and said we got you this audition based on a series of best selling books I knew I had to do research. I read the books and the fanbase is amazing but it makes me a little a nervous so I try not to think about it. There are all these people out there that already have all these ideas and images in their head. I try not to focus on that but we appreciate it so much. It’s unreal you have so many people who are supportive of the movie. We worked really hard from the actors to the crew and Weinstein Company.
How did you create the character of Christain?
I went to six auditions for the part of Christian. This is really embarrassing, I worked at Hollister just up the road from where the auditions were being held and I would do an audition one day and my agent would ring me up and say that was great but they want you to make him funnier. I would go in and do that and then I would get a phone call saying yeah that was great but they want you to go in and make him darker and make him poutier. I was like oh my god you don’t know what you want but when I got offered the role I realized that Christian was all those things.
They wanted to make sure everything was there so that is how I molded the character, just by looking back at all the audition process. Mark had this idea in his head of what he had to be and I had the script to work off of so I kind of just….smushed, I’m not really sure that is a real word but I’m going to use it.
It’s a word.
Yeah? cool, cool. So I smushed all of those elements I had, all those little pieces, I smushed those together. Three times I used that word there!
