There aren't a lot of movie star males around my age that I can play opposite.

I love zombie films like Danny Boyle's '28 Days Later' - I thought it was so brilliantly done and so grounded in reality. I was definitely thrust into the zombie world watching that film.

I had the best of both worlds when I was a kid. I'd spend a quiet week with my mum, then I'd go to my dad's property in the Adelaide Hills, where there were all these kids and animals running around.

Life is way too short to be focused on scales, weight and cellulite. If you can look in the mirror and know that you're a beautiful, loving, friendly person who's good to people, that'll ultimately make you shine on the outside.

I love being able to help and encourage my friends and I try to inspire them as they do me.

If you are having fun on screen, it shows.

I haven't met everyone from all different cultures, but I do know Aussies are very tough.
