Picks and Pans Review: Alfie Allen: Lily's Brother Atones

• The British actor, 21, inspired big sis Lily Allen's song "Alfie" and plays a butler in Atonement.

WE HEAR "ALFIE" WAS A BIG HIT WITH YOUR DIRECTOR. He played it as I was coming out for my big scene, which he thought was funny. He did the same before Keira [Knightley] and James [McAvoy's] love scene to ease the tension. It worked.

DID YOU KNOW LILY WOULD IMMORTALIZE YOU IN SONG? I thought it was gonna be, "Alfie, you're so great!" It wasn't like that at all!

NEXT YOU'RE TOURING THE U.K. IN EQUUS. NERVOUS ABOUT GOING NUDE ONSTAGE? I have to work out, but I don't know if I'm going to be able to keep to the diet. I really love my bad food. I just have to have a fried breakfast.
