BiographyAmbitionsAlex wanted to be a policemanFriends and FamilyMichael Ireland [Step Father] (Property Developer) :: Lee Ireland [Mother] (TV Presenter) :: Richard Pettyfer [Father] (Actor)PetsBo :: Tyson :: Waggles DogTrivia and QuotesQuotes (on his two biggest performances so far) They were both fun. I think probably Stormbreaker pipped it a tiny bit because it was a lot more effort and I got quite a bit more reward. You get to see what your fans really think about you and how the film`s going to do - at the premiere.
(on his Stormbreaker co-stars) In my eyes, they’re some of the best actors working today. People like Bill Nighy and Mickey Rourke and Ewan McGregor. It was fantastic to work with such a great cast and a fantastic crew. I learnt so much from them.
(his views on euthanasia) I think it should happen for people who are sick and should be legal.
Parties don`t thrill me. I like sitting at home with a tub of Chunky Monkey ice cream watching Big Brother or Friends.
I was tricked into swimming by my mother, which I love - it came in very handy. But go-karting, skiing, I know how to fly, thanks to my school - I joined the RAF for a bit, and learned how to land and take off a plane. But I`ve done all sorts of things in my life which really helped me towards Alex Rider.
My biggest fear was that there might be 5 or 6 kids there who just want an autograph, and then I would walk in and do my press. I got out of the car and it was probably 3 seconds and 3,000 girls were screaming for me.
Working on television is like being in a playground, but working on a film is like being in a big new world. It’s quite hard working on a film, but we all got on like a big family which made it easier.
I want to have lots of bodyguards around me and be surrounded by beautiful women while watching my brother play at Wimbledon. I got a big shock when I first went to boarding school because you have to become independent.
Alex: I was bullied at my old school and I`ve been tossed up in a blanket before I was 13.
