Teen.com: So, you play a prince. Sexy. How’d you get yourself into the royal state of mind?
Sam Claflin:
Well, I haven’t been in any throne rooms. I’ve been on horseback or in
the woods. So, for me personally it’s kind of…it’s hard to explain
without giving too much away… (my character is) trying to be somebody
else. I’m trying not to be who my father wants me to be and try to be a
better person, so there’s not necessarily too many princely duties I
have to fulfill luckily.
Teen.com: You know princes are kinda huge now after the whole Royal Wedding thing…
Sam:
Yeah. Funnily enough, on my trailer it says Prince William, so it’s
kind of nice to start every morning waking up like, “Yes! I married Kate
Middleton.”
Teen.com: Haha! Do you have a favorite fairytale prince?
Sam:
That’s a good question. I suppose I used to always read “Jack and the
Beanstalk.” I was always sort of obsessed with Jack. I think from my
interpretation, the name Jack is a very cheeky guy. Like jack the lad,
you don’t know the expression, but I always liked the thought that there
was a cheeky guy who climbed up a beanstalk and did that sort of stuff.
Teen.com: Ok, let’s talk about Kristen Stewart. What’d you know about her before meeting her?
Sam:
I knew of her. Everyone in the world does. But no. I knew of her and
I’m a big fan of everything she’s involved with up until now. The first
time I met her we kind of had a talk. We realized we have a lot of
things in common. We like the same sort of music. We have a few friends
in common. Yeah, small world. It’s such a small world.
