\n\tPrime Video transformed London\u2019s Southbank Center into 221B Baker Street tonight for the world premiere of Guy Ritchie<\/a>\u2018s Young Sherlock<\/a>, which explores the backstory of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle\u2019s beloved detective during his younger years. All eight episodes of Young Sherlock will be released on March 4 via Prime Video. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Queen Elizabeth Hall housed a replica of the infamous apartment door, a large library wall and a fountain, and the event was attended by director\/EP Ritchie, stars Hero Fiennes Tiffin<\/a>, his uncle Joseph Fiennes<\/a>, D\u00f3nal Finn, Zine Tseng and Max Irons, as well as writer\/showrunner\/EP Matthew Parkhill.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe star of the show, Young Sherlock himself, Fiennes Tiffin, caught up with Deadline on the red carpet to share some tidbits from his experience on the show. He also touched on his experience acting opposite his uncle Fiennes for the first time.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI loved it. He plays Sherlock\u2019s father Silas, so I think if there\u2019s any familiarity that seeps into the performance, it works,\u201d said Fiennes Tiffin. <\/p>\n

\n\tFurther, he opened up about being a part of an acting dynasty. In addition to Joseph Fiennes, other notable members include his director mother, Martha Fiennes, and his other uncle, Ralph Fiennes, with whom he shared the screen in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAnytime I start any role, I get a bit of imposter syndrome and wonder how the hell I got here and why people trust me to do this job. But you keep that to yourself because you want to keep the job. Then you start to be more self-assured, and you do a bit of work,\u201d Fiennes Tiffin shared.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe continued, \u201cJoseph came in after 3 or 4 months of filming, and as soon as I stepped opposite him, all that confidence went out the window because he\u2019s not just Uncle Joe but Joseph Fiennes, the incredible actor whom I want to impress. But very quickly, he was super supportive, and my confidence came back. I loved every minute of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOf the experience, Joseph Fiennes said, \u201cI think all actors look for authenticity and connection with their character. But when you have it as a given, as a gift, that you\u2019re a family member and you know each other inside-out, you get over that hurdle of \u2018Oops, we\u2019re together on camera, this is a bit funny.\u2019 When you\u2019re playing father and son, all the chemistries imbued with your past knowledge of each other are a beautiful asset for an actor. I am deeply proud of him. He does a great job. I held him as a baby. Now, he\u2019s a grown leading man, doing a fantastic job. I couldn\u2019t be prouder to be a part of his project.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFrom the family you\u2019re born into to the family you build in adulthood, Fiennes Tiffin has a few honorary uncles who also have his back. One is his director, Guy Ritchie, with whom he\u2019s collaborating for a second time on Young Sherlock.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHero I used in a film called The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare about a year before. Hero has a particularly fantastic way of corrupting the older, cynical actors. For a young guy to walk into a very masculine world of mature actors, because he\u2019s good looking, he\u2019s young and deft at what he does, he managed to corrupt them all very quickly. He\u2019s incredibly humble and talented, and everyone ended up loving him. So selfishly, I chose him because I like him. I knew I could work with him for a long period of time, and that\u2019s the principal reason I chose him,\u201d Ritchie explained. <\/p>\n

\n\tAnother name on Fiennes Tiffin\u2019s phone is his former co-star, Henry Cavill<\/a>, who, coincidentally, has played the famed detective twice. Once in Netflix\u2019s\u00a0Enola Holmes\u00a0and\u00a0the sequel that followed, Enola Holmes 2. The young actor revealed what advice Cavill gave him.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI spoke to Henry Cavill, actually, and specifically because he\u2019s worked with Guy a number of times and we worked together on a film\u00a0called\u00a0The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare,\u201d said Hero. \u201cI had a slightly smaller role, and he gave me some good advice, which is, \u2018A man who worries before it\u2019s necessary, worries more than necessary.\u2019 This is easier said than done. But, I did reach out to him before we started filming.\u201d<\/p>\n
