Mark Ruffalo is just an amazing guy and an amazing director.
He's kind of that guy who's caught up in success, ... He's the hot shot at work, obsessed with the new car or whatever it may be.
When everyone around you is doing all this incredible pirate acting and you're having to sort of play the straight guy and move the story forward, you kind of want to be doing some of that pirate ripping it up stuff, but in truth, to be a part of that project is what I love.
We'd worked together on a Gap commercial, so I guess he'd always seen me as a contemporary young guy, ... I was definitely on his mind.
Right where i left you... Not where i left you?
Kirsten is a really positive person. In the film, she brings my character back to life. She's perfectly cast because she is that light.
Steve McQueen is my style hero. He's just cool, isn't he?
London is one of the most exciting cities in the world, with a melting pot of cultures and diversity.
My mother's husband Harry Bloom was a writer, a novelist, a reporter, and an anti-apartheid activist.
My mother's husband died when I was 4, and I thought he was my dad until I was 15 and found out that my legal guardian was my real dad. He kind of acted like my dad, anyway. But he wasn't with my mother living at home with us. It's an unusual kind of story, but it was cool because I had two dads for a while, and it was useful in creating the character in the movie.

If you think of the ice caps as the fridge of our planet, if your fridge at home died, the food you eat would go rotten, and you'd starve.
Every stylish man should have a copy of 'The Fountainhead' by Ayn Rand on his bookshelf.
Until this movie I have played a boxer, a cowboy, a knight, a prince, an elf and a pirate. I am so glad to have done all of that already, and am ready for this phase of my career.
