In an interview with View London, Tom’s Junkhearts co-star Candese Reid talked a bit about Tom:

What attracted you to the part and how did you get involved?

What attracted me to the role of Lynette in Junkhearts was the fact her character and personality were very similar to my own. Simon Frank’s dialogue really made me giggle and I found it very easy to relate to her. I got involved by firstly attending an audition. After this, I was recalled for another where I had to run through some of the script and carry out some improvisations with [co-star] Tom Sturridge. Tom was an amazing addition to this team and without him I doubt I would have felt so totally confident, even with the sex scenes, and able to push myself as much as I did.

The trailer for Junkhearts has been released via The Guardian! The film releases in the UK on November 4!

Empire picked Junkhearts as one of the films they’re looking for to at the BFI London Film Festival! The writer did have a bit to say about Tom:

But the real reason why I’m looking forward to Junkhearts is, shamefully, that I went to school with its other lead, Tom Sturridge. Look, I’m telling it to you straight here – he’s a talented little bastard, and after undemanding fluff like The Boat The Rocked, it’s going to be great to see him actually get his teeth into the “real” role of manipulative drug dealer Danny.
