While he may be on the fast track to a star-studded career, he’s not interested in the attention that comes with it.
“There’s another side to me that’s like, ‘I don’t know if I’d be comfortable being Brad Pitt famous,’” he explained. “You can’t walk anywhere. You can’t live a life.”
Still, Golding admitted he is not intimidated by the celebrity that came with the film.

“That’s the weird thing. It feels so normal and natural,” he said. “I made it this far in life without having to rely on anyone but myself. I can manage it if I don’t make it in Hollywood. I’ve got nothing to lose. Which is the great thing. There’s no pressure.”
While the actor doesn’t feel pressure to succeed or win awards, he does say he’s interested in making “great movies.”
“If I really enjoy it, which I thoroughly do right now, I’m gonna continue to work my hardest for it,” he shared. “It’s not as though I’m trying to appease anyone else but myself. A lot of people say, ‘I gotta win my awards.’ I just wanna make great movies.”
