This is me, eight years old and in Malaysia shooting my second film, Anna and the King. As the only English-speaking kid on set, I would have been bored, which is why my mum, who was my chaperone, bought me the book The Art of Getting Even. I have three older brothers, so this was research for when I got back home. Not that I would have put any of it into practice, but you can see from the smirk on my face I enjoyed thinking about it.

When I did the audiobook version of my memoir, I kept getting emotional, mostly about what my mum has done for me. I could barely read about all the sacrifices she had made without crying. I wish I could go back in time and tell that eight-year-old version of myself to hug her a bit more. And to take more pictures. And to steal more props.

To celebrate the release of his book, Tom stopped by PopBuzz HQ to take on ‘The Most Impossible Harry Potter Quiz’. From general Harry “POTTAH!” and Slytherin trivia, to identifying screenshots from certain films and naming as many characters as possible in 60 seconds, Tom did a pretty decent job.
