I always try to be true to who I am and just be myself.
I have to prove myself in a lot of ways - as an actor, as a person, as someone who can handle pressure.
I'm English. And I don't have tan skin or blond hair or green eyes.
I'm somewhat of a perfectionist, I think, and I strive for perfection.
The reason I'm an actor is because I'll never be able to be perfect.
I used to spend a lot of time at football training, but that time was later spent in amateur acting classes and my local youth theatre, in plays at school and after-school clubs. That filled the void.
