If you haven’t heard of him, Asa Butterfield is one of the biggest child (almost adult) actors in the game, having starred in The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas, Merlin and the worldwide sci-fi smash hit Ender’s Game. Fortunately for us, he’s also a massive fan of Sick Chirpse so was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule – he’s currently in New York filming a new movie with Ethan Hawke – to answer a few of our questions. Check out what he had to say below:
Your name is really unique (I’m including Maxwell Thornton Farr in that too), any stories behind how that came about?
(‘Maxwell Thornton’ is on my birth certificate, but I never use it, my passport/real name is Asa Bopp Farr Butterfield. Which is just as weird.)
My middle name ‘Bopp’ came about from the comet (Hale-Bopp) that was in the sky when I was born, other than that I just have my parents’ names.
I’ve read that you first got into acting when you were seven, and starred in the Boy In The Striped Pyjamas when you were 10, was it surprising how quickly things developed for you?
I never anticipated myself being an actor when I was younger, it never even crossed my mind. It was just a stroke of luck that a casting director spotted me at an after school class when I was 7 and wanted me to audition for a role. I guess it just took off from there.
It’s well documented that Mark Herman auditioned hundreds of boys before casting you in BITSP despite being blown away by your audition, how was the waiting period during this process for you? Did you ever feel like you might not get it?
Honestly, this was so long ago I can hardly remember how I felt during the auditioning process. I do remember there being about 13 different recalls where I had to go in and perform scenes in front of Mark and his team.
Have you always wanted to be an actor (since you were seven at least) and do you see yourself doing this the rest of your life?
Only in the last few years have I really wanted to be an actor. As of now it is what I want to do for the rest of my life. But who knows, in 5 years I might get bored and decide to become a vet or some shit. It could just be downhill from here…
Did you enjoy your time on Merlin and do you have any plans to go back to TV in the future, or are you concentrating more on movies now?
Merlin was a lot of fun, as I was in a few episodes here and there, it let me continue with my normal life and at the same time be a part of the great team. I’d love to go back to TV, I’m hoping I can sneak my way into the background of Game of Thrones.
Are you worried about the transition from child actor to adult actor?
I haven’t really thought much about it, I tend to focus on where I am at the moment in my career. When the time comes I’ll see how it goes. Although I have noticed that I’m being cast in more mature roles, which is the first step to becoming an adult actor. And considering I’m almost 6′ I don’t think I can pull off a 12 year old anymore.
I recently read Corey Feldman’s autobiography where he talks about the highs and lows of being a successful child actor, have you experienced any lows or is your life working out pretty much how you want it too?
I think I have been very fortunate with the things I’ve been exposed to. Living in London has helped a lot too, I think many child actors in Hollywood have a pressure on them to be this ‘star’ and to always be in the limelight. When I’m not filming I’m just like any other 16 year old.
Is it difficult to balance your shooting schedule with growing up in London and experiencing the problems and changes that all teenagers go through?
I’ve had it pretty easy I think, balancing college work and filming is definitely the hardest part of it. But it’s all worth it in the end.
Obviously you’ve worked with several legends of the movie making industry already, but who do you think had the biggest effect on you and why?
Sir Ben Kingsley has been a massive inspiration for me. I’ve had the privilege of working with him twice now, and he never ceases to amaze me in both his skill as well as his humility.
I saw that you really liked burgers but weren’t too impressed with In N Out Burger, what’s your favourite burger in London?
I’ve never been one for fast food places like Maccy D’s, but Nando’s do surprisingly good burgers.

这么长。。。话说大家凑合着看吧。。。

下面就简单的用A＆Q来写了

就等着吧~翻译好了求艾特

Q:
你的名字很独特，我是说也包括Maxwll Thornton Farr在内的那个，你能告诉我这背后有什么故事吗？是怎么发生的呢？
A：
Maxwell Thorton是我出生证明里的，但是我从来都不用的，我的护照上的名字或者说现实中真正使用的是AsaBopp Farr Butterfield，也很奇怪吧。
我的中间名“Bopp”则是因为当时我出生的时候，天上正好有颗叫“Hale-Bopp”是彗星经过，而不只是从我父母那儿传来的。
我去，这样都行

Q：
我听说你7岁就开始了表演生涯，然后十岁就在《穿条纹睡衣的男孩》中担任主角，星路发展这么快你觉得惊讶吗？
A：
呵呵，以前我从没期望自己有朝一日成为一名演员，我的脑海中甚至都没出现过这种想法，只能说是鸿运当头吧，我7岁那年在一堂校外课堂上被星探偶然挖掘，然后他想让我为一个角色试镜，我猜我的表演生涯就从那里开始的吧。

真的好长，终于看完了。原来bopp是他出生时天空中一颗彗星的名字。

Q：
据可靠消息说当时条纹睡衣的导演Mark Herman在挑选你做主角之前试镜了上百个小男孩，尽管你也曾因为某些原因几度被他踢出，那么你能谈谈那段等待剧组通知时期的感受吗？你有没有想过自己可能得不到这个角色了？
A：
坦白地说，这是很久之前的事情了，所以我也记不起当时试镜时的感受了，不过，来来回回被召回到Mark和他的团队面前表演一些场景有13次，这些场景至今还历历在目呢。

Q:
那你内心有没有想过想要成为演员的事呢（至少你7岁的时候有没有这样想过）还有你是不是觉得自己剩下的人生都应当投入到表演中呢？
A:
这也是最近几年我才仔细考虑并作出决定要当一名演员的，这也是目前我想要在我的余生中坚持做的事，但是谁知道呢，可能5年之内我就厌烦了，然后决定成为一名兽医或者别的什么，演艺生涯这种事很容易就走下坡路的。
熊孩子要当兽医。。。。。

Q：
那么你享受那段在《梅林》剧组拍戏的时光吗？未来你有计划重返电视圈行业吗？或者你要集中精力拍电影？
A：
在《梅林》的那段时光实在很有趣，并且我也参与了其中几集的制作，感谢《梅林》，让我能够继续过上普通的生活，同时也使我成为这个伟大团队的一员。说实话我还是很乐意重返电视圈的。我还暗地里希望自己能进入《冰与火之歌》的剧组幕后呢。
噢耶，熊孩子仍有希望活跃电视屏幕啊！！！！

熊孩子喜欢吃汉堡！

不全哟楼楼，那个网站后面还有几页

翻译好辛苦啊

Q：
那你有没有担心过自己从儿童演员到青年演员的过渡期呢？
A：
说实话我也没想过太多，我更趋向于注意这时候自己在职业生涯目标中位于什么位置（Asa内心OS：更通俗的说就是比较在意自己在当今影坛位置如何--------怪不得这货总是关注粉丝问题。。。。。。。。）时机到了我自然会注意的。虽说我也注意到了自己现在接的那些角色一个比一个成熟，这也是我转向青年演员的第一步，考虑到我都是一个将近6英尺的大高个了，我觉得自己再也不能演那些小孩子的角色。
