Speaker 1: we know that you're in Stormboy, which is an Australian classic,

10
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,360

11
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,919
Speaker 1: phone call saying that a Hollywood movie with Angelina Jolie,

12
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,160

00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely it was. It was quite surreal at the time.

14
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 3: It just I could have never imagined that at fourteen

15
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,279
Speaker 3: years of age I could be starting alongside angel So

16
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 3: it's really really awesome.

17
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: Acting is obviously a lot of people study acting and

18
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: it takes quite a while. But is this something that

19
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: you've always been comfortable with, Like when you first start

20
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: doing it, you were relaxed and you're okay with it

21
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: the whole time.

22
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 3: Well, yes, because my mum actually made my sister and

23
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 3: I do a Stepford performances to help us with our

24
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 3: public speaking and not being afrayed in front of it anyone. Yeah,

25
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 3: and we sort of just went from there from acting

26
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 3: on like a little stage in front of a few

27
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 3: people to TV commercials and then I got Stormboy and

28
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 3: that's when my career sort of lift off of that.

00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: Well, the first step of it was getting a self tape,

32
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 3: and I filmed a self tape in my lay and

33
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,720
