I don’t consider myself a heartthrob in any way. I’m just pinching myself. I’m truly fortunate to be a part of this whole process.
I feel like anything I’m doing in life, I try to stay myself and be as honest and true as I can be, you know, and be a nice person. I’ve always been taught to be kind to people and have an open mind about life.
We all make mistakes, and it’s not until we make mistakes that we learn.
Ninety percent of my best friends back home are plumbers, electricians, builders, or landscapers. Most of our dads worked in trades.
As an actor, I’m always looking for scripts that I relate to, in some way, and things that are interesting and different. If it’s combining romance and action, I’m not missing out on anything. I get to do it all.
Well, I have chlamydia. Thanks for this, Mom. Good class.
Growing up, I lived a moderate lifestyle with my family.
I used to have an afro like Will Ferrell in Semi-Pro. It was bleached blond from the sun. I was tall and awkward. I was not cool.
I learn more with every job and I’m thankful for where I am.
If you put the work in, and you show that you’re willing to work hard, you’ll succeed.
I also surround myself with good people who keep me and bring the best out of me. I don’t generally hang out with crazy people.
I’m pretty outdoorsy. My family used to live in the hills in the middle of nowhere pretty much. We literally used to have bow and arrows and air rifles and were throwing knives.
I’m all about working with directors that are doing different techniques and I think everyone has their way of getting it to the place that they think is best.
Volleyball was the hardest thing Ive ever had to do.
As the younger brother, I think you always have crushes on your older brothers girlfriends.
There is this place in Nashville called Steak and Shake, which is pretty much the best food, ever. That is our secret, sexy place to go. When I look over at her when she’s biting into a steak sandwich and there is some steak sauce dripping down her chin, there is nothing sexier.
Gary Ross is amazing. He’s just – he always has a billion ideas of what he wants, but has a very clear perspective also; he just makes it work. He really does. He’s trying different things and making everything look amazing.
At this point, I’m happy to be part of something special. As an actor I liked to choose scripts that I’m passionate about.
I go down to Newport and Huntington a lot. It’s more crowded than where I grew up on Phillip Island, but I think it’s helped me adjust to life in America – getting into the water as much as I can.
We shot in a place called Asheville, which is like beautiful, beautiful forests. And then part of it we shot all the reaping stuff, which was just crazy – because the reaping in the book and in the script is such an emotional thing for everyone. It really did feel like that when we were shooting it.
