Oliver Chris joined HeyUGuys on the red carpet at the UK Premiere of The Magic Faraway Tree at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square, London, and the actor — who plays a delightfully reimagined tree-dwelling character — was in gloriously irrepressible form. In a laugh-out-loud interview, Chris explained how his five-year-old daughter inadvertently set the whole adventure in motion, unveiled his inspired character reference points, and delivered what may be the single most joyful summation of the entire film.
Interviews for The Magic Faraway Tree at the UK Premiere. The film stars
Claire Foy, Andrew Garfield, Rebecca Ferguson, Nicola Coughlan, Jessica
Gunning, Nonso Anozie, Dustin Demri-Burns, Michael Palin, Mark Heap and
Oliver Chris; it was written by Simon Farnaby and directed by Ben Gregor.
Colin Hart and Abigail Shii ask the questions.
Plot: When Polly and Tim Thompson relocate their family to the remote English countryside, their three children — Beth, Joe and Fran — stumble upon a towering, magical tree filled with extraordinary inhabitants, including
Moonface, Silky, Dame Washalot and Saucepan Man. At the top of the tree lies a gateway to spectacular, ever-changing fantastical lands where imagination reigns. Through the joys and challenges of their adventures, the family learns to reconnect and value each other in ways their city lives never allowed.
The Magic Faraway Tree will be released in UK and Ireland cinemas on 27th
March 2026.
