Jamie Campbell Bower: “You have Johnny Depp, Alan Rickman and Timothy Spall, all with dark, interesting characters. Then I come along and it’s, ‘Oh just f*** off! We wanna see Johnny do his thing!’ ” Jamie Campbell Bower is describing the perils of playing Anthony, the love-struck sailor and sweet-centred heart of Sweeney’s nightmarish world. Yet somehow the 19-year-old’s screen charisma, subtle command and fey, otherworldly looks have transformed the role into a calling card for an increasingly hot player – he’s just finished shooting Guy Ritchie’s latest gangster flick, RocknRolla, and, 48 hours after our interview, he flies to Denmark to meet Lars Von Trier about a new project. Plus, internet rumours of a coveted place in the next Harry Potter movie abound. Campbell Bower was an A-level pupil at Bedales School in Hampshire when a family friend suggested he audition for the role of Anthony. He has since abandoned his studies in favour of the limelight and seems to be coping with his newfound status. He adds that he’s still working in a shop, an interior design store in Notting Hill Gate, and is quite prepared to let go of the Hollywood dream. “I could end up going, ‘I used to be that guy in Sweeney Todd!’ And I’m willing and ready for that, if it happens.”
