Russell: Highmore Is A Normal Kid

Actress KERI RUSSELL has lavished praise on child star FREDDIE HIGHMORE –
because he’s “just a normal kid”.

The actor, 15, shot to fame playing the title role in 2005’s Charlie And The
Chocolate Factory, and Russell insists it’s refreshing to work with a youngster
who isn’t obsessed with their career.

She says, “Who doesn’t love Freddie? He’s the best thing going. I love that guy! In general child actors are creepy, but when he’s not shooting, he’s a
normal kid.

“Without naming names, you have eight-year-olds today who are going on chat
shows and talking about their career arcs.”
