Hailing from the United Kingdom, Claflin attended The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.

"Well, it's not really been delayed, because we've never announced the date. I mean it's sort of interesting because the studio [MGM] has never greenlit 'The Hobbit,' so therefore 'The Hobbit' has never been officially announced as a "go" project, nor have we ever announced a date. But there's so much interest that people -- newspapers and magazines, of their own account, say, ah, it's likely to film in May, it's likely to film in June, it's likely to film in September. People make this stuff up. And then if it's not filming in June, you get a story saying, "'The Hobbit's' been delayed." But it's never actually been announced."

"Yes [I was disappointed] but I mean, because I like Sam, and I like Tobey, and all that stuff and the producers, one of whom I had met before because I had been offered the first one [film]. And one of which I came to know, I like them all, yeah sure why not, but it didn't play out. Yeah, I think a lot of the people who sort of follow that genre-- I'm not sure I never really spoke with Sam about this, but I'm not sure-- maybe either the kind of fanbase, the fanboys, the base of that perhaps didn't approve of that character as an adversary to some extent, or maybe the studio, or maybe that was totally unrelated to why that fell apart. I heard various things about it, but yeah it was a drag because I like Sam, and he's offered me a couple of things and it hasn't worked out."
