Freddie is well-known for playing Charlie Bucket
Speaking about growing up in the spotlight in an interview with Attitude magazine, Freddie said that he managed to have an ordinary childhood. He said: "A lot of it is because I had a supportive family growing up. Between making films, I would go back to ordinary school in London instead of home schooling. I didn't go to school in Los Angeles, where it must be harder to maintain that distinction between a normal life and film work. I wasn't defined as an actor in London. And going to uni studying foreign languages rather than drama helped to keep me grounded."
