Asa Butterfield Looks Forward to Working with Kingsley

BBC America has just posted a wonderful clip of Asa Butterfield, the actor set to play Ender, talking Ender’s Game and Ben Kingsley. “That’s going to be incredible, reuniting with him,” says Butterfield on working with Ben Kingsley in Ender’s Game. Keep in mind, as of last Thursday Kingsley is still in negotiations (although, he sounds like it’s almost a sure thing).

Asa Butterfield also talks about what it’s like to be so young and doing something so big. “It is difficult because I am doing something so different. Barely anyone my age does this, but I do try and keep my acting life and my normal life separate.” He follows up quickly, “Whenever I’m at school, I just do whatever any other 14-year-old kid does. I play computer games. I hang out with mates. I’ve got sort of two different lives, my personal and my professional.”

Those are some wise words for someone so young. It’s unclear at this time when this was taken, but you can watch the short clip of Asa Butterfield discussing the Ender’s Game movie below!
