The best thing I've ever done for a girl hopefully is make them happy. Isn't that the most romantic thing you can do?

The movie is so fun. I've done period pieces before but nothing with this twist. And the movie is just full of such wonderful people, such young actors - people like Matt Smith that I've been friends with for a while.

Each character you play has its own set of characteristics, for want of a better word.

I wanted to become an actor. I went to Guildhall School of Music and Drama, which is one of the main drama schools in London where you go when you are older. But I was doing the junior one when I was a kid. And some friends there had agents. I was fourteen and I was like, "I want an agent! It sounds awesome!" I had no idea what that was. I thought those guys looked like men in black. They were hanging around in suits all the time. So I luckily got a very good agent in London and started auditioning. And then when I was 16, I got my first film and I've been working ever since.

As a kid, I used to run around our garden waving a stick and pretending to be a million different people. That's why I became an actor, really.

I like to cook Vietnamese pho or vegetarian curries. I need to cook more but I need somebody to cook with.

I've spent a lot of my teenage years working on sets. I've missed out on more than just playing rugby, but I think I've managed to keep my feet on the ground and keep my friends around me.
