When Thomas Brodie-Sangster first met his Death of a Superhero co-star Aisling Loftus, he wasn’t sure he liked her very much. But they were all smiles when they talked to Bonnie Laufer of Tribute. Thomas talks about working alongside Andy Serkis and what it was like to have to shave his head and eyebrows for the role (he plays a 14-year-old struggling with cancer). Aisling, who says she’s selective about her scripts, wanted to do the film because it was a story worth telling.

I absolutely love this interview. So funny once they all warmed up a bit.
<3 Thomas! XD
I just don't like the bits where Thomas's "lovely relationship" with Aisling is discussed. Drives me nuts.
I AM SO GOING TO MARRY THOMAS BRODIE-SANGSTER!!!!! HE IS SO MINE!!!! Mind if I sing him a little song to the tune of Beethoven's 9th Symphony,''Ode to Joy?''
Joyful, joyful Thomas Sangster
Thomas, will you marry me?
With your sweet looks and your voice
Anything a girl can have
I am desperate, please talk to me
Say that you're gonna marry me
Please give me your diamond ring
We'll make a perfect couple
The movie was utterly amazing. I feel like it should have gotten more attention. Some of the lines in there, like when Thomas' character says how life is a sexually transmitted disease that ends in dead, were seriously amazing and provided a much different look on things. From the way Thomas played his character, he did amazing. This is one of those movies that tells a story that actually gets to you and makes you think. I knew what ending was coming, but it still was sad. Thomas' character also reminded me of Freddie Highmore's character in 'The Art of Getting By' in almost all aspects. Anyways, the cast did amazing and I really do wish this movie had gotten more attention and earned much more money.
yeah. life is a sexually transmitted disease, it's created by people having sex, and in the end it kills you. that's Tommy's line
