The dark side is when you are with family and friends, and you have paparazzi screaming at you - that's been hard to deal with.

I'm not a Casanova in 'The Newsroom,' by the way - just another hard worker.

'Slumdog' was my first movie, and I had never been to India before - I was just a teenager in the U.K. with my headphones and my Nike shoes. What did I know about growing up in a slum?

I don't think I have the pulling power of Jim Carrey.

But I'm tone deaf - window-shattering tone deaf. I can't sing for the life of me. I can't sing or dance, so no remake of 'Grease' for me!

The thing is, I am a loving person. I am super sappy when it comes to romance. But I'm not the Antonio Banderas, swashbuckling, Pierce Brosnan, smooth-talking type.

I'm an Asian guy growing up in London so I see myself as British, but India is part of my culture.
