When I was younger, I never had that fascination.

When you audition for something you do feel a little bit more legit. It's a validation that you are the right person for the job because they've chosen and they've seen you do something connected to that role.

I stay away from Speedos. That would cause me absolutely unnecessary publicity.

Sometimes I comment, but you have to be careful because if you do it for one, everybody wants you to say something.

It's just nice to do something a bit different, and I guess when you're an actor, you have the license to do that.

And I love to cook! I've impressed hundreds of women with my cooking. And they always come back for more.

When I left school, I got a job in a shoe shop and I used to save 15 quid a week and pay for my own singing and acting lessons.
