When I'm not acting, I'm at the beach. I like to spend a lot of time in the water, surfing.
Every movie has its uniqueness. You just do your best and go with it.
I havent had the whole famous thing happen to me yet, and I hope I never will. I like to sneak away in the corners and hide a lot.
I almost failed drama at school. I hated it. It was all about the history of theatre.
I thought Leonardo DiCaprio was amazing in Baz Luhrmanns Romeo and Juliet.
I went to college at QUT: Queensland University of Technology. I studied for a Bachelors in finance and acting.
In Australia, we cling on to whatever culture we have. We're such a multicultural country.
When I was 16 years old, I joined a drama group called North Queensland Academy of Dramatic Art under a woman called Maggie Shephard-King. She inspired me to audition for the role of Romeo in 'Romeo and Juliet.'
I want to go back home and make movies in Australia. There's so many stories that we haven't captured yet. In Australia, we cling on to whatever culture we have. We're such a multicultural country.
