Now that SW is around the corner I’ll randomly share moments from last years amazing shoot. This particular moment was during the wrap party at the science museum in London. It was a good night! Loads of laughter and of course I ruled the dance floor as expected. Haha! Peanut led the funky Friday group dance with our crew! ( you’ll find out what that is) Fabulous night.
Even this happened during filming last year ! Samuel L Jackson rocked up cool as usual and we discussed a few things. The guy is a legend!
Brilliant Sunday with the lads! @robertdowneyjr and the bloom!
