I go down to Newport and Huntington a lot. It's more crowded than where I grew up on Phillip Island, but I think it's helped me adjust to life in America - getting into the water as much as I can.
I'm all about working with directors that are doing different techniques and I think everyone has their way of getting it to the place that they think is best.
I think a good thing to always remember is to just keep your head on straight and don't lose your feet.
We had a black bear on the 'Hunger Games' set, and that was a little scary.
We're showing a situation that these kids are caught in and being forced to do but the violence is not glorified. Most of the kids in there are not wanting to be doing it.
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.
My uncles used to call me 'Devil Child,' or 'Triple' for triple six. They used to tell my brother Chris that they were going to get the demons out of him because he was also a little crazy. But to me, they'd just be like, 'You're too far gone. There's no exorcising you anymore.'
One of my favorite movies is 'A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints.'
I'm a really fast runner. No one can catch me - I'm quick.
My favorite actors are Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio and Will Smith - guys like that.
When I'm boxing, if my career isn't going well, at least I feel mentally and physically strong.
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.
Sushi is my favorite thing to do in L.A.
