Mads MikkelsenI would have turned any offer down, if it had turned into a thriller. I would have seen no point in a thriller here. I don't need to entertain people, on top of what we were doing. It's not a question of whether he did it or not. I would have thought that was banal and uninteresting, and I wouldn't care. And it could have also turned into a shoot-out because there were a lot of guns in the film.
Mads MikkelsenYeah, I do all the stuff I can. Letโs be frank, if you are in an action film, you are not in it for the characters, you are in it for the action โ the stunts. If they take that away from you, itโs a sad story. Ha ha! I have damaged everything: knees, elbows, ribs. But Iโm an old gymnast. I know how to survive.
