I'm 5 foot 5, so in some shots I need to be on a box and that's something that I'm very used to. But, in this film [The GameChangers], I’m on a box in so many scenes with Joe Dempsie, who’s a couple of inches taller than me, the joke was like, everyone knows I’m really short, so everyone's going to think you're tiny for this entire film!

I don't know what a typical male lead is. People just say, "You're not a typical male lead."
I think it's just because I'm like, 5'5". I think that is literally it. I'm shorter than the average male lead. But that's not really true. Dustin Hoffman is tiny. Tom Cruise is little. There's loads of people who are sort of short with big heads, who … work on camera.

Gary [Oldman] is 5ft 8in and skinny, but he is magnetic. I'm 5ft 5 1/2in, but I'm going to start calling myself 5ft 6in.
