I'm very lucky, I've got two very loving parents, still very much together, and always been very supportive.
I like playing dark, broody types.
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.
When I'm applying for a new passport, or something, someone will call me Christopher. Other than that, no one ever calls me Christopher.
I've always been a bit of a self-doubter, I think a lot of actors are. I still am.
Politics is a game and a profession. It doesn't really serve the people the politicians are supposed to serve.
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.
Working with animals is always going to be tough because the animal doesn't know it's an actor.
I'm very much a "that's so obvious, I must not mention it" kind of guy.
At drama school, I was always playing the 11-year-old boys.
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.
I love action. I love doing fight scenes, I always have.
I love going out. I love partying.
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.
