I Swear actors learnt about John Davidson’s Tourette’s tics with ‘bonding’ fishing trip
- Tourette syndrome campaigner John Davidson revealed how he helped actors prepare for the film I Swear based on his life, by taking them on a fishing trip.
- Davidson took Robert Aramayo, who plays him as an adult, and Scott Ellis Watson, portraying him as a child, on a fishing excursion, a pastime he loves.
- Aramayo spent significant time with Davidson, observing his triggers and tics, describing the experience as "incomparable" and the fishing trip as a "great bonding experience."
- Davidson found it "surreal" to see actors playing him on screen and was "blown away" by Aramayo's performance.
