Daniel Mays has said working with Steven Spielberg on the new Tintin film was an awesome experience.
The British actor can currently be seen starring in new movie Shifty, but is due to appear in the animated movie The Adventures Of Tintin: Secret Of The Unicorn.
Daniel said: “They’re really adamant that no one opens their mouth – but I can just say the opportunity of working with Spielberg was one in a lifetime, and it was just an awesome experience, amazing.”
The 31-year-old actor and his partner have a young son Mylo. Daniel admits to have “made a career playing characters who are sort of dark and a bit troubled” but wants to be in more films his son can watch.
He said: “I’m actually doing a small part in the new Nanny McPhee film, which is vastly different from anything I’ve done before, it’s a kids film. So I’m going to go straight onto that which is going to be really fun.”

But Daniel – who appeared in Channel 4 sit-com Plus One – is keen not to be type-cast.
He said: “I enjoy doing comedy as much as the serious stuff so it’s about trying to stretch yourself as much as possible as an actor because if I’m bored then the audience are going to get bored as well.
“I think to a certain extent every actor, there is always a level of people pigeon holing you. Even the DeNiros of this world are sort of looked upon as playing just gangsters and psychopaths.”
