I wish I could just be in the movies and still enjoy everything else like a normal person.
I found myself doing all these action-adventure movies, and it's been a fantastic experience, and I've learnt a lot.
Right where i left you... Not where i left you?
You see movie stars advertising all sorts of things today for whatever reason. And it may be that it affords them the luxury to do smaller movies or to go and do a play. Because, otherwise, you have to keep doing movies where you get paid millions and millions of dollars to maintain a certain lifestyle.
I've done movies with a sword before. But I haven't really been given the full responsibility of something like a Ridley Scott film.
I'm old-school English, so I suppose I'm quite protective - especially of time. Now that I'm a father, every moment is precious.
It's cool. It's the reason I get to do what I do.
Sofia Coppola is wonderful, and I'd love to work with her.
Life sometimes doesn't work out exactly as we plan or hope for.
Attraction doesn't stop when a child is born. It's the opposite. Being a mum and dad makes you even sexier.
He's the most giving, generous, great, helpful, open, honest director you could work with as an actor. It's like an education.
There's a whole element of human interaction and character interaction that I really enjoy doing.
For a kid in London, Hollywood seems like such a mythical place.
I 'm at the beginning of my career and I hope I get to get the opportunity to play someone diverse and dark and more serious in the story.
