I think for some actors, the fame is an unfortunate by-product of the work. I don't feel quite like that. Don't get me wrong: I'm very, very steadfast about wanting to keep my personal life personal and making sure that I have plenty of time with my family and friends. But it's quite exciting to think you've achieved some level of success.
Taron Egerton
