Christian Convery is sharing insight into Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor’s impressive performances on The End of Oak Street.

The 16-year-old detailed his experience working with Hathaway and McGregor on the upcoming dinosaur survival film, praising the pair, who play his on-screen parents, for their extraordinary work ethic on set.

“The one thing that I really took away was just [the] dedication and commitment to every scene,” Convery exclusively told E! News. “I’d been working for eight years when I was filming the movie, and I really [hadn’t] seen such commitment—emotional commitment, physical commitment—to a scene. It really started when I was working with Annie and Ewan.”

Indeed, for the teen—who plays Brian Platt in the David Robert Mitchell sci-fi movie—witnessing Hathaway and McGregor doing what they do best firsthand left him breathless.

“Seeing these two veteran actors give 110% of their bodies and minds playing these desperate people just trying to survive, it really shocked me,” Convery explained. “It took my breath away on set. I was like, ‘Wow, these guys really know what they’re doing.’ It’s really just about giving it all, giving 110% every day, every scene.”
