The more you fly, the more unsettling it is, because you realize how much more likely it will be for you to crash. I am getting better at it, though.
I kind of weirdly fell into being an action hero...I have no f- idea how that happened. You have to remind people that you want to act rather than just run around
I always love costume, and I'm always heavily involved in how things should look. Or how they should feel really, because that's part of the way I suppose I get into character in some ways. It's a lot about costume.
There are lots of actors out there who are hugely, hugely talented and haven't got the breaks I've had.
I just don't know anything about fashion.
I wear quite fitted clothing. I don't like wearing baggy stuff.
I'm very lucky, I've got two very loving parents, still very much together, and always been very supportive.
I like playing dark, broody types.
It's a nightmare if you're working with someone you don't get on with, especially if you have to be in love with them.
When I'm applying for a new passport, or something, someone will call me Christopher. Other than that, no one ever calls me Christopher.
I've always been a bit of a self-doubter, I think a lot of actors are. I still am.
Politics is a game and a profession. It doesn't really serve the people the politicians are supposed to serve.
You find with the really great actors, the ones you really admire and look up to, very often they're very giving, generous, warm people.
Working with animals is always going to be tough because the animal doesn't know it's an actor.
