|
William Peter Moseley was born on April 27, 1987, in Gloucester, England, to Peter Moseley and Julie Fleming. He is the eldest of three children with a younger sister named Daisy and and younger brother named Ben. His father`s name is also William`s middle name.
Described by those who know him as a rather opinionated young man who knows his own mind, he wanted to be act since he was 10 years old. The young actor had a small role in Goodbye, Mr. Chips (2002) (TV) as Forrester, and he was cast as an extra in Cider with Rosie (1998) (TV). However, his big break came when he was cast in the part of Peter Pevensie in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005), picked out of thousands of boys for the role. He hopes he won`t end up type-cast as Peter and to go on to carve a successful, well-rounded career in acting and directing in the future. William completed Year 13 in 2006, with A Levels in Media Studies, English and Drama. In autumn 2006, he moved to New York for several weeks to study acting under Sheila Gray, where he trained at the famous Gleeson`s gym in Brooklyn in preparation for filming The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008). |

When Tilda [Swinton] would enter the scene, she was intimidating and awe-inspiring." "I`ll always have time to falling in love . I don`t believe that I won`t have time for a girlfriend, because if I do meet someone I like alot, I can`t prevent fate. But I`m not worrying so much about it, as I am still young." (smiling) "No, I don`t. But I do want one, though. If I meet someone and I`ll fall in love with her, then naturally I`d want to be with her." "Yes, but that`s not going to affect my daily life. Because I won`t notice if a girl somewhere is in love with me after seing me in the role as Peter. We`ll never meet, and she doesen`t know who I am. She`s in love with Peter - not me. " I can only hope there`ll be a sequel made just because I had such an amazing time on this one. It was beyond every experience imaginable, it was basically a dream come true. For that dream to come true a second time would be quite amazing. Unfortunately I don`t have the say ." "I don`t think it can sink in. I don`t think it really stuck me when I first got the part what it was like. I`m fortunate, I`m lucky that it hasn`t hit me yet. The weird thing is when you see yourself, as you`re driving by, on a poster or you see yourself on a washing up box or something - it`s so bizarre. It`s just momentary, it`s only within those brief few seconds when you see it then you move on with your day. I have a very good family, very good friends and I`m lucky that everyone has been so supportive and kind to me. " "I love it. I really do. I mean, my mum used to get me out of the house on a Sunday morning as a punishment, but I always thought it was fun, just running wild, climbing trees, whatever. And now I`m doing it in a movie! I ride these beautiful Andalusian horses and do all this sword fighting, which is so well choreographed. And the sword they made is so amazing. It`s the same guys that made the armour for The Lord Of The Rings and when you see it... Well, it really does take my breath away every time I hold it." "I`m enjoying it and that`s the best way to look at these things. If you don`t enjoy it then it`s not worth doing. It is hard work at the end of the day, they`re working you for every mile you fly so it`s worth enjoying, it`s worth relishing every moment you get." (on acting) "We just enjoy everything so much. We just tried to relish each moment that we have together as a family and as individuals. The experience we`ve been given is, without question, the greatest experience of our life. It`s just appreciating those things." "What I hope is that I don`t just become "Peter from The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe." I want to try and do something else to be a good actor and a respected actor" "You don`t know what you have until it`s not there anymore." (on being homesick) (CS!): What were your favorite scenes to shoot? All the war stuff? Williams reply: "Yeah, that is an easy question, because that was amazing. I couldn`t have enjoyed that any more than I did. Like I said, I rode on this perfectly trained white Spanish Andalusian horse, bareback with a full suit of armor, sword and a shield across a battlefield, galloping towards snow-capped New Zealand mountains. I mean, that was the greatest experience of my life." ?I essentially did go from a boy to a young man but that was because of the environmental forces that were pushing me into that role. It`s more of the responsibility that I had to deal with. I was halfway around the world living by myself. Living by oneself is something which you deal with and you have to deal with and get on with. I had an amazing safety net below me. But dealing with adults the whole time as well, not with people your own age or people younger than you. We had jobs.? When questioned if he was ready for instant stardom, William replied-"I laugh at it a little bit and just enjoy it." | ||
