I come from classical theater training and when I went to college it was a bunch of kids that were hand-picked from around the world. I was around such brilliant young minds and incredible artists with incredible teachers.

Every weekend the drama department would have parties. The 20 hot girls on campus? All of them were in the drama dept. So we'd have somebody standing guard at the door to keep all the computer science guys out. We had to guard our women at all times.

I think when portraying someone that does exist in real life, there's an amount of respect and you want to do them justice. I don't really care what anybody says out there about what I did in the film I care what these guys thought about what I did. If I'm making them happy, then I know I'm on the right track.

Also, to be honest, my dad wanted me to be an athlete. And I think all sons want to prove something to their dad. So now, aged 35, I want to see what I can achieve physically.

American comedies especially are all about these men being browbeaten by their wives and it's impossible for me to watch.

I don’t think there’s any such thing as male objectification…I think that word exists only with women because there are societal pressures for them to behave a certain way and to look a certain way. Someone put it to me once: Women are sex objects and men are success objects. That was really interesting to me.

I went to a school that's predominantly computer science and engineering. So, there's a real shortage of hot girls, let's say.

I watched so many comic book movies where the actors weren't as built as the characters in the book. It made me mad because they didn't look right.
