"I had to drive into a crowd of people and everybody had to part like the sea for the car, as you would do for a moving vehicle coming in your direction. But one extra just dove in front of the car, and I almost ran him over. Which was absolutely terrifying. But no I didn’t hit him because I have very good reflexes."

Discussing the perks that come with playing one of the most recognizable film characters in the world Daniel said: "I get treated very, very well. I have to kind of keep my feet on the ground otherwise it would really go to my head. More than it’s gone to my head already," he joked.

Responding to comments that being in the film would change her life Naomie giggled as she said that despite the hype around the movie she never gets noticed. "It hasn't really [affected my life].
