Wonderland talk to Luke Pasqualino, a young actor back from the dead.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Bomber jacket by PAUL SMITH<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re going to kill you. Sorry, you\u2019re going to die.\u201d Not Wonderland <\/i>on Blue Monday, but the talent agent of one Luke Pasqualino, Italy-via-England\u2019s new pretty boy soubrette. 2009 saw him shoot to fame as the weed-smoking, skateboarding adolescent Freddie McClair from Skins<\/i>\u2019 Second Generation, until his character met a grisly end. \u201cThey took me out to dinner to tell me,\u201d he says. \u201cI lost my appetite pretty soon after that.\u201d This year, Camrbridgeshire-born Pasqualino bounces dramatically back, starring in both historical melodrama The Borgias <\/i>alongside Jeremy Irons and sci-fi action thriller Snowpiercer – <\/i>shot in Prague with \u201cdear friend\u201d John Hurt.\u00a0Wonderland <\/i>caught up with the actor just after he\u2019d finished dusting off his barnyard-appropriate attire, playing D\u2019Artagnan in high budget BBC series The Musketeers<\/i>.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/b>Shirt, jacket, trousers and embellished slippers all by PRADA<\/em><\/p>\n Explain your miraculous career bounce-back! Freddie is dead\u2026 long live Freddie.<\/b><\/p>\n I think just not losing your enthusiasm, basically. I was aware from the very start that you know you\u2019re never going to get every role that you go up for. I think you have to be quite a resilient soul and if you can get over that, the rest of it will come easy. It\u2019s never going to come easy, but easier for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n The likes of Nicholas Hoult have used Skins as a really successful springboard. How did it help you find bigger and more interesting parts, do you think?<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cSkins has got quite a knack to cultivating very good young talent like Joe Dempsie, Hannah Murray, Jack O\u2019Connell, Kaya Scodelario\u2026 quite a few of those young actors who\u2019ve come on to do really well. You never know until it happens, but you have to keep it in the back of your mind.<\/p>\n
