A New Direction




Back in 2007, when he was interviewed for his then-current film The Last Legion, Thomas was already 17 with years of acting experience behind him, but a still-youthful face and a relatively wholesome child star career. He was then asked if he planned to do more racy, adult roles in the future, to which he replied, "Whatever comes".




And something has finally come for our youthful looking friend. Prior to this year, his most "adult" role was playing teenaged Paul McCartney in Nowhere Boy, a role that required minor cursing, but it's still relatively tame compared to his latest project.




His most recent film is called Death of a Superhero, in which he plays a teenager dying of cancer, who lets out some of his "complicated" feelings via racy cartoons. The trailer is evidence of some of the racy content of the film. But there is also a good message beneath the inappropriate content. According to Thomas, it's "life-affirming", and encouraged him to think of the positive things in life.
