“Jimmy is the furthest away from me of all the characters I've done. He's a real dreamer who acts on impulse and ends up in trouble. The message is 'think about what you're doing before you do it'. It's my first leading role and I figured it would help me grow up. I really wanted to do a film that could take me out of the boy thing. In Jimmy I even had my first love scene which was quite exciting!”
