Nonso Anozie spoke to HeyUGuys at the UK Premiere of The Magic Faraway Tree at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square, London, where the actor — who plays the beloved Moonface — was in ebullient form. In a warm and entertaining interview, Anozie described how the script immediately ignited his imagination, what it was like to squeeze into his elaborate four-piece costume in sweltering heat, and why putting on the wig and the moustache essentially handed him the character on a plate.
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.

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.
