Actor

Basically, Apollo was more of a mediator between Zeus in Olympus and Perseus on Earth. He played much more of an active role.

I wouldn't say being in a film with The Rock was 'motivating.' 'Terrifying' would be a more accurate description.

I think heroes are the people that go into houses when they're on fire and save people in hospitals.

I don't need to be super-ripped all year round. That's a pretty miserable way to live your life.

Every time you get in shape for a role, there's a different way to do it so it doesn't get boring.

Most men have an insecurity of some sort. But we're brought up to believe that we can't show them.

I'm not one of those superstitious people.

If you train too much, it can rule your life, and I don't think that's healthy - for men or women.

Gemma Arterton in 'The Master Builder' at the Almeida - she was absolutely brilliant. Ibsen is difficult and quite hard to follow, but she just brings the stage to life.

Everybody knows about Peter Jackson, 'The Hobbit' movies and 'The Lord of the Rings' films being made in New Zealand, and to actually have been part of it for such a long period, to live there and to have friends that I will have for life because of that experience, is an amazing thing.

I've got two cows licks; when I was a kid, all the boys in school used to have curtains, and my hair never used to do that, ever! I always used to try, and I always looked like the geek.

A guy's biggest style mistake is definitely trying to look too cool. As long as you've got a good pair of jeans, a good pair of boots and a few good shirts, you're fine.

It's good for your body to have a break. Even when you're training, you have to have a cheat day every week. The body reacts better to training if you give it intervals of not training, or you relax the diet.

To me, growing up in South Wales, a pair of Diesel jeans were the thing to have - if you could afford them.

I think starting a cinema career late in life has more advantages than disadvantages.

In theater, you sometimes can only do one or two jobs a year because they're long periods. In film, you can shoot so many. It's quite interesting.

It's hard work just being on set 14 hours a day.

I've played quite a few good guys.

It's just hard to get an independent film made.

Sometimes I eat at, like, 9:30 at night and then go to bed at 10:30 and wake up at 4:00.
