I can remember watching 'Lord of the Rings' and being truly regretful that I wasn't a being in that world.
I'd much rather put on weight than have to lose weight.
I went from sort of trying to get work to all of a sudden being signed up for the next few years on something, and something of this scale with some of the best people in the business involved, acting and directing. It was a dream.
It's much easier to hate someone on screen, if you actually like them off screen. It's a more enjoyable ride. There's nothing personal about it.
Strong female leads are important.
My dad works in child protection and he's spent many, many years in that line of work.
Not often do you approach a character where people know more about him than you do
Working with Anthony Hopkins every day is a blessing.
Work all paled into the background as soon as I had a baby.
Eating when you're not hungry and taking in that amount of food is exhausting.
My father and I are very similar and have a wonderful relationship, but we both stand by our opinions.
It is often difficult to watch yourself onscreen, especially 60-feet high. As an actor, it is an uncomfortable experience.
I like to explore things.
You get the part, sign the contract and start to realize millions of people follow this guy and know more about your character than you do
