Is it true that Peter Jackson gave you the One Ring (7 ) to keep as a souvenir from The Lord of the Rings? Yet sometimes the adults would still treat me like a little child. And also, when you're working with adults, you're effectively an adult in that you are doing the same job. The worst thing? Maybe not having any regular friends, because I wasn't in regular school. What was the worst thing about being a child star? I remember turning 28 and thinking: "Wow, I've now been working for 20 years." That was shocking to me. The Ice Storm (6 ) was probably the breakthrough for me, in that the material had a darker tone and the character had more depth.
