Every actor has a strength, and sometimes you just respond to things that you see yourself better at. I'm aware of what I can and can't do.
Some of my favorite movies are action movies. You want something good to say. That comes from good writing. But writing is not a skill I possess, unfortunately.
Well, I'm used to rubbing shoulders with crooks and criminals.
A kid is something precious, and you want to protect it and keep it fun. I'm not a dad, but I've seen people and how they behave with their kids.
Sometimes there are people who don't know how to make action movies - and that situation isn't a good one.
I'm more into MMA than any other sport. I watch a lot of the UFC fights. I have since it first came onto the scene.
I like fashion. My mum was a dressmaker, believe it or not, so the consequence of that was that all my clothes were homemade, and I looked like a terrible mess until I was old enough to buy my own. But I love good tailoring.
A lot of actors are frustrated because they want to do things that are different and test themselves. Character actors are always looking for something the opposite of what they did.
When I go to the cinema I watch all different kinds of films.
I'm not as big a soccer fan as people might imagine, being British.
It's something I never dreamed I'd be doing, making movies.
Look at someone like Edward Norton. A truly phenomenal actor. He's definitely went to school and trained.
A franchise is dictated on the success of doing one film right, so if you can get it done correctly, you've got a chance of something else, but sometimes it just doesn't work that way. Ideally, it's insurance for the future; if you can do something, if you can find a character that people really do like, then you're very lucky.
My father used to run auctions. He's now a singer in the Canary Islands.
