Freddie plays the part of 'Young Raoul' in the film and had an amazing time filming in Cambodia with new born tiger cubs.

Freddie soon followed up with an outstanding performance in the film 'Finding Neverland' where he plays the part of Peter Llewelyn Davies, the boy who inspired the book 'Peter Pan' by J.M Barrie. Freddie received much praise for his performance in this film and was nominated for  a Screen Actors Guild Award for his performance and won a Critics Choice Award and Golden Satellite Award. The biggest complement perhaps though, was getting the part of Charlie Bucket in the new film 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' after his 'Finding Neverland' co-star, Johnny Depp (who plays Willy Wonka in the film), personally recommended him for the role after being so impressed with him during filming 'Finding Neverland' together. Freddie also starred in another book adaptation, in the movie '5 Children and It' based on the book by E. Nesbitt, playing one of the lead roles of Robert.

In 2006, Freddie was seen in two more films; 'A Good Year' in which he played the younger version of Russel Crowe's character, earning him a Broadcast Critics Awards nomination for Best Young Actor; and 'Arthur and the Invisibles' based on the books by Luc Besson and directed by him himself. The film was a new challenge for Freddie with part of it being live action and part of it animation, which meant Freddie had to do some voice over work.

2007/08 will see the release of two more highly anticipated films in which Freddie plays lead roles. The first is 'August Rush' in which he plays the title role of August, about an oprhan who finds his parents through music. Perhaps Freddie's most challening role to date however, will be in 'The Spiderwick Chronicles', based on the books by Tony Di Terlizzi and Holly Black, where he actually plays the part of twins, Simon and Jared Grace.

Freddie will also be filming parts 2 and 3 of the 'Arthur and the Invisibles' series during the summer, and his voice can be heard in the film, 'The Golden Compass' in December 2008 where he will be voicing the character of Pantalaimon.

When Freddie isn't busy filming, he enjoys playing soccer with his friends in the park and he supports the football team, Arsenal. He is also learning to play the guitar.
