Career

In July 2002, Sumpter, then thirteen years old, was selected for the role of Peter Pan, a role traditionally played by women on stage, and the first time a boy played the role in a live-action feature film. During filming he grew eight inches, requiring some filming and staging tricks to conceal his height in scenes filmed late in production.^{citation needed} They had to make the window bigger because he kept hitting his head and they had to keep making his leaf outfit bigger. Sumpter did nearly all of his stunts for the film himself. To prepare, he says he practiced sword fighting as much as five hours a day, as well as training in gymnastics and lifting weights. While filming in Australia, he supplemented his training with cricket and surfing.^{citation needed}
