Ruby Barnhill Calls Steven Spielberg A Good Friend Ahead of 'The BFG' Premiere in London

Ruby Barnhill reunites with Mark Rylance at The BFG Premiere held at Odeon Leicester Square on Sunday afternoon (July 17) in London, England.

The 12-year-old actress posed for pics with Mark, as well as director Steven Spielberg and her family.

“People always ask me if I’m in awe of him, but to me he’s just Steven, a really good friend,” Ruby shared of her friendship with the director.

She added, “Someday I will probably look back and think, ‘Wow, I shared my birthday cake with Steven Spielberg and swam in his pool in Santa Monica,’ but I think of him as a lovely kind person, not a remote star.”
