In real life I'm obviously a lot more shy, but once I'm on set and in costume and I'm hidden behind the person I'm playing I feel quite free to experiment.

I never have time to cook, so I just look through the books and imagine the dishes I would make if I wasn't going out for a business dinner.

The most romantic thing a guy has ever done for me is starting a family. That's as romantic as it gets.

I think kissing scenes always feel awkward but there's just no way around it. But it's a part of the job.

I have a side of me that doesn't care. I really enjoy physical comedy, thinking of an idea and pitching it to the director.

I'm not a fashionista. I don't have much experience in that world.

You have to list all your special skills on a form when you get an agent. There's fencing, stage combat, horse riding, motorbike riding, Spanish, French, German, whatever. I just ticked everything. I talk about 10 languages according to that form. I even ticked the extreme sports box.
