I wondered how they would top the Pirates and skeletons and moonlight, because that's a pretty cool concept.

I remember one time that I was filming a scene in whych my character rides through Troy on a chariot. I just looked around at this incredible set thinking 'This is the life'.

Although it is a fantasy film, it's as real as it can be. You have to imagine that an audience will buy their ticket to a cinema and get on a first-class flight and journey to Middle Earth.

I feel really privileged to be an actor, to be paid to do something I love

If you read 50 books, I'll get you a motor bike.

I think a film set is a quite controlled environment and you feel like you can trust them and it is going to be a safe place to work, but I really don't think about it.

The role of an actor is to make every character believable.
