News of Rush's casting was confirmed by his co-stars during a Q&A for his returning series Am I Being Unreasonable?, which is created by and stars Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli.

Cooper said of 15-year-old Rush: "I don't think he's here. Is he doing something more important? Of course he is! I discovered that kid."

Hizli then added, "I think he’s acting with Gary Oldman now," to which Cooper exclaimed, "Oh my god! Why am I not acting with Gary Oldman? Is he actually?"

Hizli then confirmed, "Yeah, he’s in Slow Horses," to which Cooper joked: "But we’ve written this!"

Rush was then also spotted by fans filming on the series, with his character and Oldman's Jackson Lamb exiting a building and heading down the street (as seen in the below post from @zachariahassler).
