I'm very much a "that's so obvious, I must not mention it" kind of guy.
At drama school, I was always playing the 11-year-old boys.
On a serious level, I wouldnt tell the press if I was in a relationship or not. I wouldnt ever reveal that, because it takes you down a certain road... I have no desire to be courting the press with my love life.
I love action. I love doing fight scenes, I always have.
I love going out. I love partying.
When you're a lead role, I'm learning that you set a tone for the movie in a way, like a director does, or like other actors do. But it seems like you set a mood on set.
You know that thing when you break up with someone and you’re walking around the town where you both live and you’re just really hoping to see them? You know that you’re not supposed to see them, but there’s nothing you want more.
I love acting and I know that's a cliché, but I didn't really, I was very naïve when it came to the whole being recognized thing.
I like a girl who does not take me seriously, you know? It's important to be able to laugh at each other.
