“But Johnny gave me the advice for life to stay grounded and never forget where I came from. So technically all of them are so incredible to watch.” Seeing Geoffrey walking around (even off-set) with a crutch and a peg leg trying to get into the mode of walking was incredible. Everyone approaches the characters very differently.
“Everyone approaches the text very differently. On working with veteran actors such as Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Ian Mcshane and Penelope Cruz, Claflin reflected that: We appreciate that pun on the last quote.
It was amazing to go through that with somebody else who is in the same boat.” “Every time we went to a new set,” Claflin continued, “every time we met a new character…You kind of have to pinch yourself. He and his partner in crime Astrid Berges-Frisbey (Syrena) shared what he describes as, “lots of high-fives and screaming behind closed doors.” Throughout the course of our interview, Claflin continually stressed a deep sense of gratitude to have had the opportunity to work with the actors and filmmakers behind Pirates. Fingers crossed if there is another journey that it’s as exciting and enjoyable as this one.”Īs to another journey, Claflin is optioned for three more films with Disney, but he jokingly acknowledged, “that could potentially be another “Pirates” down the line if this one goes down well and another script sort of gets written with me involved, but at the same time it could be “ High School Musical 7″ or whatever.” I was very blessed to have an amazing journey to play in this. Johnny actually had a huge part in creating the character of Philip, along with all the writers. The only thing I had to do with this is that I auditioned for it and got the part. The exciting thing is that I didn’t really have anything to do with creating this character. “I quite like the element of surprise,” Claflin continued, “and as much as I have my ideas, I always appreciate ideas that come from other people as well, and I love the mystery of not knowing. But it’s really left very open-ended, and it’s amazing that so many people have asked the same question.” What I’d love to have happen,” the actor quipped, “is that Philip becomes a mercenary, and starts killing loads of people, just to change the character up a bit. Obviously the writers said to me, ‘what do you think happened?’ And I’ve got so many sort of potential options. I’ve got literally no idea, no one’s sort of spoken to me about it. “I cant tell you really,” Claflin responded. In the course of our conversation with Claflin, we asked the actor what he thought of his mysterious end, and what he hoped and believed it meant for the future of his character in the Pirates franchise. We will say that the conclusion that had the audience buzzing the most at the screening we attended had to do with the Philip and Syrena storyline. On Stranger Tides has roughly three cliffhanger endings (which we will not spoil here). In our interview with Captain Barbossa, Geoffrey Rush, the actor mentioned that every Pirates film has a cliffhanger ending. (You can see our our earlier piece on what audiences can expect from Claflin’s Prince Charming in Snow White and the Huntsmen HERE.) We had the chance to speak with Claflin about his On Stranger Tides role at the Los Angeles press day for the film. They also propel the plot forward, and co-create what is one of the more interesting dynamics in the film. Philip and his counterpart, the mermaid Syrena ( Astrid Beges-Frisbey), serve (in some ways) to establish the b-love-storyline that Orlando Bloom’s Will Turner and Keira Knightley’s Elizabeth Swann provided in the first film. Claflin ultimately won the role of Philip, the missionary who falls for a mermaid, in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
When Sam Claflin got a call from his agent saying that he had an audition for the new Pirates of the Caribbean film, his initial response was “What’s the point? It’s never going to happen, it’s impossible.” The actor was both shocked and deeply gratified when he in fact found himself flying to Los Angeles to meet director Rob Marshall and producer Jerry Bruckheimer just two days later.
