(on refusing to discuss injuries he sustained making Wrath of the Titans (2012)) I don't like talking about that. I've got mates who play rugby and they think I'm a pussy actor.
  • Before he managed to pass the audition for his role in Avatar (2009), he was living in his car, which he had bought after selling all his possessions for about $2000.
  • He managed to reach the final round of auditions for the role of James Bond in Casino Royale (2006) before losing out to Daniel Craig.
  • In 2010, the Madison magazine selected him as Australia’s Most Stylish Male Celebrity.
  • When he applied for admission at the National Institute of Dramatic Art, he was 19 years old and working as a bricklayer for financial support.
  • After he dropped out of college, he got $400 from his father, who sent him to Cairns and asked him to earn his way back to home.
