For three years, I had embarrassing haircuts.

I love that Viking era, but also they're a fatalistic people and that dictated their fearlessness in battle and approach to life.

Every film has challenges and all of us are doing it together, all the cast is doing it together so you keep each other motivated I guess and keep each other in check.

I get to stay active and that is my job at the moment, so I can't complain.

My mum always used to say to me that, out of her three boys, 'Chris, you were the girl!' I'd speak to her about far more things (than my brothers would) and far more things than she needed to hear about, too. I was a chatty kid.

Strong female leads are important.

The more conflict and contrast you have with a character makes it more interesting.
