Speaking to The Independent, Sophie admitted she was a little “intimidated” when she first heard that Hugh had landed the role of Mr Reed in Heretic.
“I was a little nervous when I heard it was going to be him in the film,” she shared, explaining that she “grew up very much idolising him and thinking he was just some British god”.
She recalled: “I love that he’s a very honest person – and you get that right away when you meet him.
“There’s no sugar-coating. I feel like that’s rare to find in people, and I really appreciate that.”
“He always asked us questions about ourselves and was naturally very engaging,” Sophie continued. “He just made us feel like normal people, and that this was a normal work thing.”
Sophie is joined in the film by Chloe East, whose recent credits include the Steven Spielberg movie The Fabelmans.
The movie hits cinemas on Friday 1 November, with select previews on Thursday night (which, yes, does happen to be Halloween). Watch the trailer below:
