Jamie Bell
Monday, July 9th, 2007I first knew Jamie Bell, as a pupil of the school where I worked for 13 years as a primary school teacher - Prior`s Mill Primary School in Billingham. He was never in my class but he was known, throughout the school, for his talent in dance, and the fact that, at the age of 10, he gained a place with The National Youth Music Theatre.
Jamie became one of the original Stagecoach Yarm students. He was with us for a year. I rang his mum when I learned of the “Billy Elliot” auditions and he went along.
All the audition process and recalls went on for so long that about six months passed before she rang me one day, to say that he had won the part. Whilst I was very pleased for him at that time, none of us had any idea how big a film it would be.
It spawned a BAFTA for “Best Actor” for Jamie, the year after the film`s release, and later came the very successful West End stage musical of “Billy Elliot” with music written by Sir Elton John.
Jamie has continued to work as an actor in high profile films such as “Nicholas Nickelby” and “King Kong”.
His latest film, to be released over here, is “The Chumscrubber” with Ralph Fiennes and Glen Close. It was filmed quite a long time ago, because Jamie kindly invited myself and his old primary school Headmaster to his 18th Birthday party. He arrived at the party, having just flown in from the States, after completing the filming on “The Chumscrubber” . That was three years ago.
Whilst Jamie was with us, along with other boys, he auditioned on our premises for a remake of “Goodbye Mr Chips”. The project was overtaken with tragedy when the producer was injured in a car accident and was on a life support machine. We never heard anything more about the project. Somehow I don`t think that if that film had been made that it would have had such a launching effect on Jamie`s career as “Billy Elliot” !!
