BECAUSE I DO LIKE THE CHALLENGE
environmentally responsible and ethical. Then I heard about David and Bonita and No1
Rosemary Water. I tried it and aside from the unique taste, which I really liked, I found
myself craving it. I became genuinely addicted, to the point of being quite possessive.
"Then I had the opportunity to meet David and Bonita. I wanted to know that it was what
it was claiming to be and wasn't just a flavoured water. David answered all the questions -
I really grilled him and wanted to know all the science behind everything. He answered
everything at length. It was then that I realised what my body had been responding to. I do
tend to keep myself healthy and fit, and so everything I put into my body responds very
quickly. With rosemary water I felt a certain sharpness, so we started our partnership."
Henry explains how trials show that "if you take the extract - which is the stronger,
concentrated version of what the water is - 20 minutes later the cognitive part of the
brain is 15 per cent more active." He continues, "I found myself in The Witcher season one,
working crazy hours, getting up at 3.30am. The only time I'd have to learn my lines was in
the trailer in the morning during my two-hour make-up. That, under normal circumstances,
could be difficult because we're not talking movies where you might shoot up to three pages
a day. We're talking TV, where you're shooting six to 12 pages a day. I'm also writing up plans
to take to set, or changing stunt stuff or redesigning ideas. And that was all made possible
because I felt sharper. It wasn't that heavy fog you have when you're knackered. Rosemary
water really did have that effect. Lines were sticking in my head."
It sounds as though No1 will continue to serve Henry well. After all, this is an actor at the
peak of his powers and there's no let-up in the schedule. Work on The Witcher season two is

underway and Enola Holmes is out later this year,
with Henry playing Sherlock to Millie Bobby
Brown's Enola, the great detective's child sister.
"It was such an opportunity to play a
supporting character like that to Millie, who is an
extraordinary actor," he says. "The people - Sam
Claflin [as Mycroft Holmes] and director Harry
Bradbeer - were wonderful to work with. I'm
really looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
"Otherwise everything else is more of a watchthis-space moment. My problem is, every job I'm
doing tends to be top-secret and I can't talk about
it until it comes out. I end up being very boring
in interviews because I can't talk about anything."
It's the only time BALANCE will disagree with
him. We've been privileged to meet some of the
most fascinating people on the planet, and Henry
is a strong contender - pun intended - for No1.
