"It is not a real pressure but it is a pressure of living with the thought, 'Oh, what if all these people are saying I am not going to have a career? What if they are all going to be right and will be laughing and I will be consigned to a bunch of 'Where are they now?' lists?," he said.

The 24-year-old actor, who has been teetotal since 2010, went on to receive critical acclaim for his theatre work and believes the fantasy film series, in which he played the title character, has opened up lots of career ventures for him.
