During his interview, Jeremy told Dave how he got the lead role for the Steven Spielberg-directed film.

“I was walking around London putting cv’s through doors of agents,” Jeremy explained. “With a friend I put together a show reel and I was telling agents it was professional work, which was real cheeky, but it works. A lovely agent took a risk and took me on and it was the second audition they put me up for.”
