Newcomer Jamie Campbell Bower, who plays sailor Anthony Hope in the Tim Burton production, said he had auditioned for the part while he was preparing for his exams.
He said: "My plan was to go back and finish my A-Levels, but I didn't."
He added that he now works in a shop while auditioning for new roles, adding: "It's a really nice shop. It's cool to do that, I guess."
Co-star Ed Sanders, who is still at school, said he was "looking forward" to returning to his normal life.
The movie, which stars Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Alan Rickman, opens in UK cinemas on January 25.
