As A Child I'd Get Given Parts

There Was Recently A Story Out That I Turned Down A Role In A Major Franchise. That's Not True. I Refused To Audition For It. I Didn't Get The Part. I Didn't Even Go In Because I Thought That The Part Was Just A Repackaged Version Of The Parts I Played Before In These Young Adult Films - Sort Of Moody, Masculine, But Sensitive And All This Kind Of Thing. It Was Just A Repackaged, Rather Dull Thing.

I Think I Was About 16 When I First Figured I Wanted To Be An Actor. I Wanted To Be A Fighter Pilot Before That, But Then I Thought I Don't Want To Kill People So That Ruled That Out.

In Fact, When I Met Kit Harington First, He Was Pretty Much Feeling How I'm Feeling Today - At A Photo Shoot And You've Had No Sleep. He Was Just A Really Nice, English, Down-to-earth Guy. No Pretense, Nothing.

I Think There Was A Bit Of Brotherly Love, But I Think Everything Has A Motive When You're King. It's All About Maintaining That Power - Securing That Power - And I Think Edward Was Very Skillful At Doing That. I Think He Was A Great King. Opinions Are Split, If You Look At What He's Done And Written About Him.

Also I Don't Want To Refer To Myself As Maximilian. You'd Have To Win An Oscar Or Become Mind-numbingly Wealthy Or Hit 50. It's Like Smoking A Cigar, You Know What I Mean? You Can't Be A Young Guy And Do It.
