First "Stroke of heart" (in french: coup de cœur )

"When I was a boy, I was in love with Linda Evans from "Dynasty". My aunt who works in publicity in New York, had got the opportunity to meet her when she came to shoot a commercial, and she asked her to sign a photo for me. I was crazy with joy and I’ve always had the photo!"

"Thriller, by Michael Jackson is the first record that I bought".

"I was brought up in Canterbury, in England, and my mother brought me to church where my sister and me participated every year in bible reading competitions. I was gifted and to read in front of the public gave me the taste of the stage."

"When I was 13, I took the job of a launcher of clay discs! Yes, yes, that exists! It concerns to cast discs in the air so that snipers with rifles can shoot them. It was a nice job and besides I was in the open air."

"It was "The Hustler", with Paul Newman. I adored that film and after watching it, I knew that I wanted to become an actor."

"I was 14 and there was a pretty, young, English girl. I won’t say more, but, since then, women fascinate me. On the other hand, what I can say, is that I regret the manner in which our generation behaves with women. It seems that romanticism is getting lost.

In England, when you meet a woman at night, generally you’re drunk and you end up snogging in the back of the taxi on the way home… "

"When the actors of The Lord of The Rings got their tattoos, it wasn’t new for me. I was tattooed for the first time when I was 15. It’s a little sun placed under my navel."

First good luck charm

"I have a little blue pyramid with several precious stones, lapis lazuli, that I bring everywhere with me. I always put it on my bed table for the stones are supposed to bring wisdom to their possessor."

"Jamiroquai, in my native town, in Canterbury ,when I was a teenager. "

I bought my first car for 160 pounds at an auction sale. I was very attached to it and I regret to be separated from it now, even if it was a wreck!"

I played a little role in the film Wilde. I played a young homosexual man. I was offered numerous roles after that, but I had preferred to devote myself to theater for 3 years."

"I’m shooting my first comedy which is The Calcium Kid. I play a young poor man, who works as milkman but who dreams of becoming a great boxer. I’m training like mad to be credible and I‘m also drinking lot of milk!"

"The first day of shooting, I had to play a scene where Legolas speaks to others elves in their native tongue. Unfortunately, elvish is a very difficult tongue to pronounce and I had to correct myself many times before I succeeded."

"Some say that I was engaged to the english model Jemma Kidd, but I prefer to keep the secret. People can imagine what they want, it makes me more mysterious! In any case, for the present, I’m single and happy to be. I had a girlfriend when I arrived on the shooting of The Lord of the Rings, but she stayed in England while I was in New Zealand. Distance hurt our relation.
