  • Woody Norman’s crown drama on ‘The Uprising’ set!
  • Playing a 14-year-old king is tough, especially with a broken prop.
  • How Joaquin Phoenix inspired Woody to go meatless at just 10 years old.

Okay, so we just heard some news about Woody Norman, and honestly, we’re buzzing! You guys know him, right? The super talented actor from ‘C’mon C’mon’? Well, he’s starring in a new historical drama called ‘The Uprising.’

He’s playing King Richard II, who in the story is only 14! Talk about a heavy crown to wear. But get this: Woody actually got a massive headache while filming. Why? Because the only crown they had for him got damaged on the very first day.

So, it didn’t fit his head right. We can totally picture it – a young king, probably trying to look all regal, with a lopsided crown. The visual style of that must have been… interesting! Maybe a bit rebellious, even. Imagine the vibe on set with a wonky crown!

But wait, there’s more! Woody, who’s 17 now, also spilled some details about going meatless at just 10 years old. And guess who inspired him? None other than Joaquin Phoenix!

Yes, *that* Joaquin Phoenix. You know, the one who’s super passionate about animal rights. Woody worked with him, and it totally changed his perspective. It just shows how much impact people can have on each other.

It reminds us how much we love seeing actors team up for new projects. Speaking of amazing talent, Amy Ryan and Emilia Jones are teaming up for a new Netflix drama, and we’re buzzing! We can’t wait to see what they create.

We also can’t help but think about how much actors put into their roles, sometimes even dealing with painful props! It’s not all glitz and glamour behind the scenes, that’s for sure. Woody’s story has us feeling for him, but also super impressed by his dedication.

Our Take

We’re honestly so impressed with Woody Norman! First, dealing with a crown-induced headache while trying to embody a young king? That takes serious commitment. Second, being inspired by someone like Joaquin Phoenix at such a young age to make a huge life choice like going meatless? That’s incredible maturity.

He’s definitely an actor to watch. We love seeing young stars not only rock their roles but also stand for things they believe in. Keep shining, Woody!
