I probably was not loveable. I was shy.
I definitely wasn’t fat. It was really just like
a charity part. I think I only had one line. And
I maybe even forgot to say it. The memory of
the whole thing is somewhat disastrous.What’s the worst thing you’ve ever put in
your mouth?
Goat’s cheese. I like all food stuffs. But for some
reason, there’s something very singular, very
particular about that flavour that does not
agree with me.to anyone?
In a way I have. I actually wrote to [director]
Justin Kurzel. At the time, I had been watching
[Kurzel’s films]SnowtownandMacbeth, basically
on a loop. So I just wrote him a letter and said,
“I’m a huge fan of yours and I’d love to buy you
coffee or lunch or something.” And he wrote back
and said, “I’d love to grab a coffee with you.” So
we grabbed a coffee. Eight months later he was

offered me a role in it.Which movie have you seen the most?
Withnail And Iand Martin Scorsese’sCasino.
Probably those two.What scares you?
Wasting time. It’s the thing that I find myself
getting most anxious and annoyed about.On a scale of one to ten, how hairy is
your arse?
Well, you know, obviously there are two regions.
There’s arse cheeks. Mine are not hairy at all.
And then, obviously, there’s the central canal.
I would say, like, moderate to light. I’m just
not a very hairy person in general. It depends if
there’s, y’know, a big event coming. Maybe no
hair at all, even in the central canal. Sometimes
it’s nice to have a little manscape down there.

my sneakers back on, and was sprintingaway.
And in that moment, I realised I was inside
thisrecurring nightmare that I’d had for, like,
20 years —sprinting for my life, naked, through
a forest. I didn’t have any context in the dream,
but I had that dream literally about 50 times.
It’s weird. I guess it was prophetic in a way.And
I haven’t had that dream again.
Do you have a nickname?
I don’t. Not that that I’m aware of. For a period
of time I was very good friends with Seth Rogen
and Jason Segel and those guys. They used to call
me ‘Hollywood Hunnam’. I hope that was more
based on alliteration than me earning that in any
other capacity.
What would you call your autobiography?
I don’t know. I suppose I hope to never write
an autobiography. Maybe it would have to be
called: ‘I Should Have Never Written This Book’.
How much is a carton of milk?
I’m so tempted to lie and say I’m lactose
intolerant. Because I don’t know the answer.
It varies from store to store. I’m going to say, in
