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've got like a weird bond with horses. I'm kind of a horse whisperer, I don't know what it is. I'm not great on a horse. I'm getting better, but I'm not brilliant. So yeah, I've spent a lot of time with horses. They're great creatures, I love them. I do love riding them when I get the chance to.
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.
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 find with the really great actors, the ones you really admire and look up to, very often they're very giving, generous, warm people.
I love going out. I love partying.
You don't want to seem too eager, too romantic - otherwise, it just looks a bit try-hard. But I do think that a first date should be intimate. So I'd choose a nice dinner somewhere cozy, not too crowded, with good wine.
I love action. I love doing fight scenes, I always have.
When I'm applying for a new passport, or something, someone will call me Christopher. Other than that, no one ever calls me Christopher.
At drama school, I was always playing the 11-year-old boys.
I'm very lucky, I've got two very loving parents, still very much together, and always been very supportive.
It's a nightmare if you're working with someone you don't get on with, especially if you have to be in love with them.
I like playing dark, broody types.
I just don't know anything about fashion.
