Junior reporter interviews Hollywood's finest

Jack Callaghan, aged 14, questioned Tom Hanks, Emma Thompson and director John Lee Hancock about their latest film, Saving Mr Banks, a biographic about Walt Disney’s attempts to buy the film rights to P L Travers novel Mary Poppins.
At a red carpet interview at the closing gala premier of the 57th BFI London Film Festival in Leicester Square, the young reporter quized Tom Hanks on playing Walt Disney.
“Being such a legendary figure, was it hard to recreate him as a human?”
Mr Hanks replied, “No, that's my job. My job is to go in and inhabit another suit of clothes and make everybody think its come to life. When that happens you actually have a sense of where you’re going and how you wanna make it…well that’s the best job there is. Almost as good as dressing up in a goofy hat and coming down here and asking questions!”
Mr Hanks joked with Jack on the red carpet, even pinching his questions and interviewing himself saying, “’The songs bring out the child in P. L. Travers, what brings out the child in you?’ That’s a good question, I like that. Erm, staying up late and eating pizza!”
Jack, who attends St John’s School in Marlborough, is no stranger to interviewing the rich and famous, having interviewed Sir Michael Caine and Sir Elton John in his role as an ambassador for FILMCLUB, which has membership of around 220,000 young people across the country. He was also named young interviewer of the year in 2011.
FILMCLUB is an education charity which helps schools set up and run film clubs for young people to learn through film.
