OlderThomas Brodie-Sangster's Dreams Came True When He Played a 'Baddie' in 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'
Thomas Brodie-Sangster is all suited up for the Newport Beach Film Festival 2018 UK Honours held at The Rosewood Hotel on Thursday (February 15) in London, England.
The 27-year-old actor wore a festive and tropical tie with his suit for the event, which singer Tallia Storm was also seen at.
Speaking with USA Today recently, Thomas opened up about getting to have a cameo in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Thomas played the First Order officer who famously barked out orders: “We have an unsanctioned departure in Bay 2.”
“I keep saying that I’ve always wanted to play a baddie, and that counts,” Thomas says, adding that it was one of his childhood dreams.
“They [my agents] said, ‘It’s a bit odd. There’s a part in Star Wars, it films next week, we don’t really know much about it. But it might be a baddie and we think there’s a line. Do you want to do it?’” he recalls. “And I was like, ‘Um, Yeah! It’s Star Wars!’”
“It’s a big childhood thing to tick off the list. Just immediately yes. Of course.”
Thomas adds, “The level they go through is just ridiculous. It felt very sinister, walking onto that clean, sterile environment felt like a star destroyer. It was very special.”
