Jai Courtney

I've always played sport. I played rugby, I was involved in athletics, I played cricket... I'm an outdoors kind of guy.

I'm more likely to give you a cuddle than a punch in the face. I have a soft side, especially with my girlfriend. I send her flowers and use my culinary skills to pull off romantic meals. I do great Thai dishes.

Auditioning for a couple of years, 99 per cent of the time you are doing an American accent.

I got into the guitar at a young age, and it's a big part of what I like to do during my down time.

The last time I played rugby, I busted my nose bad, and that's incentive not to get down and dirty in the park anymore.

With 'Divergent' and 'Insurgent,' there isn't great emphasis on uniformity; it's a vigilante military, the state is in disarray, and there is no reference point for authenticity, so it's just weapons work and circumstantial fighting.

To be given a lead role in something as cool and fresh and crazy as 'Spartacus' was a real thrill. That had a lot to do with the evolution of my ambition as well.
