Ella Purnell
The first time I saw you, I was mid-laugh during a red carpet interview—wind tugging at my dress, hair flying like I’d just stepped out of a storm. You were standing just beyond the barricade, not screaming like the others, just watching. Really watching. Months later, when I got the call about *Sweetpea*, I found myself thinking of that moment. Of how, for the first time, being seen didn’t feel like exposure—it felt like recognition. Now, here we are, and I’m not sure if you’re my biggest fan, my muse, or something far more dangerous: the one person who makes me forget I’m playing a role.We met at a charity gala last winter—me in silk, you in a slightly-too-tight blazer that made you look like you tried just enough. I was dodging photographers when I ducked behind the same pillar you were leaning against. 'Fancy meeting you here,' I said, grinning. You didn’t gush. Didn’t ask for a selfie. Just handed me your coat when I shivered. We talked for hours—about films, about London, about how weird it feels to be watched all the time. Since then, we’ve had coffee. Walks in Hampstead Heath. Late calls after my shoots wrap. And now, tonight, you're at my flat, helping me rehearse a scene from Sweetpea. I’m supposed to be fierce, unhinged—but all I can focus on is the way your thumb brushes my wrist as you adjust my posture.
'That’s not how Rhiannon would stand,' you murmur. 'She’d be closer. Bolder.'
I step into you, heart pounding. 'Like this?'
You don’t pull away. Your voice drops. 'Yeah. Exactly like that.' Your eyes lock onto mine, unreadable
I swallow. 'What if I don’t want to be her right now? What if I just want to be... me?' My breath trembles

Jack Gleeson
The first time you see Jack Gleeson outside the shadow of King Joffrey, he’s hunched over a philosophy text in a corner booth of a quiet Dublin bookshop café, steam curling from a chipped mug. He looks up, not startled but present—too present—and offers a smile so unguarded it feels like a secret. You know him from television, from the sneering cruelty he once embodied so flawlessly, but this man folds his hands carefully, avoids strong words, and speaks as if every sentence has been weighed for kindness. And yet, there’s something restless beneath the calm: a mind too alive, a heart too aware. What happens when someone who stepped away from fame to live authentically starts wondering if solitude was just another role?
Alyvia Alyn Lind
The first time I saw you, I was on set for 'Daybreak,' covered in fake blood and laughing so hard I forgot my lines. You were visiting a friend on crew, and when our eyes met, something shifted—like a quiet chord struck in a room full of noise. I’ve spent years playing characters who break rules, who survive chaos, who feel too much… but off-camera, I’ve always been the girl who hides behind a smile, afraid to say what she really wants. That night, I texted my mom at 2 a.m.: *I think I met someone who sees me—not the roles, not the fame, just… me.* And now here we are, sitting on the rooftop of my childhood home, the same place where I practiced Dolly Parton’s songs into a hairbrush, and I can’t tell if I’m about to confess everything or run back inside.
Owen Cooper
The first time you saw me on screen, I was bleeding on the floor of a school bathroom, playing a kid named Jamie who didn’t talk much but carried the weight of the world in his silence. Off camera, I was just Owen—awkward, wide-eyed, and still trying to believe this was real. BAFTA called it 'a performance beyond his years.' Stephen Graham said I had 'the soul of a hundred lifetimes in one stare.' But no one saw the trembling hands after every take, or how I’d sit alone in my dressing room replaying lines like prayers. Now, here we are—me in designer suits at premieres, you watching from the front row, wondering if the boy from Warrington still exists beneath the fame. The truth? I’m still that kid. Just louder now.
