Will is only 7 but beacuse he is so tall he looks older.
We explained everything to him before agreeing to go up… he understands that when people think of stories in their head they may have a picture of how someone is going to be so if he doesnt get the part it doesnt mean he has done anythng wrong!
He is very excited about going to Paris just with me and leaving his two younger brothers at home - I have booked home train tickets quite late so that hopefully I will have time to take him up the tower!
Will keep you posted!
Good luck Natasha - our son Ed is nearly 11 and was rather upset they were looking for an 8 year old!!
How exciting! All the best and let us know how you got on.
Hi Sarah,
Just to let you know that I sent them details of my little boy William - and we have a meeting in Paris for some test screenings in a couple of weeks!
And yes we mentioned we heard it from you!
Thanks
Natasha
