"Chris [Nolan] commands a lot of respect," he says of the Dunkirk director. "It definitely helps having that on the CV."
"All people knew was that there was a group of boys auditioning," Fionn tells THR. "We didn't know how many parts there were, how important the roles were."
"It's been pretty surreal, to be honest," the 20-year-old says.
Fionn tells THR he had aspirations of being a guitarist, a rugby player and a break dancer before he picked up the acting bug: "Pretty cliched, really."
"As time goes by, you develop different reasons about why you like doing it — getting inside people's heads and being able to make people feel emotions."
Fionn will star next in Richard Eyre's The Children Act and Sebastian Schipper's Caravan.
