However, Radcliffe’s parents were “awestruck” that he would like to work with her on his debut film. He recalled, “The other thing I knew about her was that she was a Dame, so the first thing I asked her when we met was ‘Would you like me to call you Dame?’ to which she replied with a laugh and said something similar on the lines of ‘don’t be ridiculous.’" The Woman in Black actor remembered that he was “nervous” to meet Smith only to be put “at ease” by her immediately with her words and presence.
He revealed to the media outlet, “She was incredibly kind to me on that shoot, and then I was lucky enough to go on working.
