Secret Vices: None that I can think of.(In a interview he says his biggest vice is his tendency to use the F-word.)
|
|
Favourite food: I'm a meat and potatoes guy. I'm an Afrikaner remember, although I really can't braai.
|
|
Auditions: God it's like having sex when you don't feel like it getting it up when you really want to veg out in front of the TV.
|
|
Drugs: I have dabbled in them but they're not my scene. I don't like to be out of control.
|
|
Favourite movie: A Place in the Sun with Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor
|

Favourite living star: It would have to be Robert De Niro. He continually comes up with it.
|

Sex: Before I went into movies my father said, 'Whatever you do, don't sleep with anyone on set.' I never have.
|
|
Luck: I have been thinking about this. Many people might think that luck has played a major part in my success. But it is more complicated than that. I really did time to get where I am.
|
|
Money: (He got $3.5-million - about R28-million - for The Mummy Returns ) You know, maybe because I can now afford things I used to dream of, I no longer want them. I test drove a Porsche the other day and then I thought, 'Do I really need this?' I am quite happy in my bakkie.
