People recognise me when I'm holiday on the beach.

In true-life dramas, you have to do so much research. It's a big responsibility to make sure things are as correct as possible. In 'Robin Hood', you have more artistic license - it's all action, adventure and reaction. This gives everyone a chance to make their characters their own and to make them believable.

Ill-fitted T-shirts stretched over a gut are my pet hate. And if the colour's faded - ugh.

The condition of my skin changes often, depending on the season or if I'm traveling a lot.

Fashion does seem to have a 20s comeback every few seasons, and I completely see why. Its a very feminine look: the fabrics and the shapes are very pretty and distinctive.

I was neurotic and weird from an early age.

It's nice to bring the changes with everything you do. As an actor, that's what you want to do, all the time.
