George Green has been rubbing shoulders and sharing jokes with actress Keira Knightley.

But while that may be most men’s dream, at eight years old George was unfazed by the experience.

He has a role in The Duchess, which has just gone on general release, but is too young to see the 12 certificate film.

Mum Louise, of Heathfield Way, Barham, said: “George had a made-to-measure wig with real hair and three different costumes, also made just for him. He even had his own trailer on set which made him feel very special.”

She has promised to get the film when it is released on DVD and show George the parts he is in.
