My favorite actors are Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio and Will Smith - guys like that.
I've worked with little kid actors before, and when they start crying or anything like that, it makes my job so easy, because you react. A little kid crying, there's not much else to do.
I used to have an afro - like Will Ferrell in 'Semi-Pro.' It was bleached blond from the sun. I was tall and awkward. I was not cool.
I used to wear my brothers' hand-me-downs, which were all too big on me.
I work with accent coaches a lot and try to do my best to get the Australian out of there.
My character's kind of grown up with Katniss. The beginning of the story, they're more or less brother and sister than anything. They're best friends. They've been keeping each other alive. It's a little frustrating, for the character. As the character, not as me.
Most of my friends surfed, so we would go before school, after school - literally, whenever we could.
Mel's Diner in L.A. - they are my favorite hamburgers. I could eat there every day. They are ridiculous.
I surfed competitively from age 13 to 18. Every day, before and after school. I wanted to surf for the rest of my life. It's what all my friends did - I even had it as a subject in school for a number of years.
John Malkovich is such an interesting person and such a fun actor to work with.
I don't spend a lot of money on myself, really.
I don't sing. I played guitar for a while. I'm not great, I'm not Lenny Kravitz by any means, but I do like to strum.
I grew up close to Melbourne, about two hours outside, on Phillip Island. It's really small; it's kind of a little summer beach town.
Personally, when I'm not working, I like to do as many things outside of the industry as I can - other things that make me happy. You kind of need to be grounded in something else besides just being an actor.
