Tom Sturridge stole THIS from The Sandman

Taking something from the sets of the shows or movies seems a common act among the actors. Neil Patrick Harris also recently revealed that he has also stolen from the sets of the iconic series How I Met Your Mother. So, if we hear about Tom Sturridge stealing from the sets of The Sandman, it wouldn’t surprise us. However, the thing that he stole is pretty surprising.

If you’ve watched the series, you would know that there are three things that Dream cannot live without, the Helm, Sand, and the Ruby. Tom, in an interview, talks about the show and what it is about. According to his understanding, the thing that connects all of us is that we dream. And this adaptation is literally based on Dream. You might feel like he’s the protagonist of the show, but in reality, he’s just trying to show the stories and dreams of thousands of people, which would make you feel like a part of the narration. That’s the beauty of Neil Gaiman‘s writing.

While talking about what Dream and the show mean to the cast members, they talked about what they would like to keep from their character’s props. While Vivienne Acheampong, who plays Lucienne on the show, said she wanted to keep everything, Tom dropped a bomb here and mysteriously laughed. “I don’t know if I should say,” said Tom. But with Vivienne’s encouragement, he revealed that he stole the “pouch of sand,” which surprised Vivienne and us. Since it wasn’t meant for humans, we hope the pouch serves its owner well.
