Q: Georgie, most girls your age wouldn’t follow a man home if he wasn’t wearing a shirt.

McAvoy: He’s not a man though.

Q: Lucy’s not doing what adults are telling her to do.

Henley: She does it because she really trusts in Mr.
Tumnus. They’re almost like long lost friends, and there’s no point in having long lost friends if you don’t go into tea with them.

McAvoy: The thing that is so special about them is they’re nearly the same person in a lot of ways, even though he’s 150 and she’s eight years old. When they meet each other it is fast friends immediately.
It’s quite unviable to make friends that quickly, but we have to believe it can happen. But if you can’t believe two people can become friends that quickly, then don’t watch the rest of the film.

Henley: They connect.

McAvoy: Yes, they connect in a really fundamental way, because they’re very similar people.

Q: How did shooting in chronological order help you?

Henley: We got more mature, really. I was a bit of a spitfire on set, I was really hyper on set, wasn’t I?

McAvoy: You were a bit hyper on set. But I didn’t help, I was jumping around like I was seven.

Henley: You were! It did help me.

McAvoy: I think so. You guys got more experienced, more chilled out. And you got so much more comfortable by the end.

Henley: And you became more faun-ey. More goat-like.

McAvoy: My beard got longer.

Swipe to see a couple of rare promo photos of Mr Tumnus and Lucy having tea I found in books. ☕️🫖🍞🔥🕯️😌❄️🍃✨

Leading up to the centenary celebration of the birth of Queen Elizabeth II, I will be sharing some insights on Her Majesty in connection with the next print I will be releasing — also piece you also have seen before, but now in a brand new edition. ✨

Yes, it has something to do with tea! Here is a mini biography through images of the late queen and the love of her daily rituals, which leaves me quite inspired, being an avid tea drinker myself. ☕️🫖

There will be a couple of other birthday buddies joining the tea party soon, too! 🧣🐐👩🏻‍🏫🌬️📚

I am sad that Queen Elizabeth is no longer alive to experience such a milestone, although she did have a fascinating life and left a most remarkable reigning legacy on the history of Britain. But what is even more special and personal to me is that my own grandmother who was born in 1926 IS still living and well on her way to the grand 100! So this dedication is also to her. 🥰💯
