Portraying children’s author Enid Blyton in the new BBC biopic Enid was a labor of love for Helena Bonham Carter, who shot the film in 15 days on a shoestring budget. Her enthusiasm for the project was not matched by her 6-year-old son Billy Ray, however! Helena tells the UK’s Telegraph,
“[He] threw my script to the opposite end of the room just before I started filming, saying, ‘I like you but I don’t like what you do ‘cos it takes such a very long time.'”
Although she, herself, was not a big fan of Enid’s writing growing up she is quick to point out that she is reading it to Billy now “whether he likes it or not.” She adds,
“And he does like it. All the things people criticize her for, such as repetitive language, he loves it. It makes it really easy to read.”
Helena is also mom to Nell, 23 months, with partner Tim Burton.
