How does doing Thor compare to doing Chekhov?
芝居 is 芝居 whether you’re doing it in Asgard または in 19th century Russia.
Have あなた suffered from sibling rivalry such as Loki and Thor?
I have two sisters – one older, one younger – and I 愛 them very much. Unlike with Loki and Thor, I’ve never tried to kill them. My relationship to the brotherhood aspect of the Thor and Loki relationship is that I have フレンズ who have become honorary brothers. It’s something everyone understands. Whether it’s Cain and Abel または Edmund and Edgar in King Lear, warring brothers is a classic storytelling theme.
Your younger sister is an actress. When she 発言しました she wanted to act did あなた feel she was encroaching on your territory?
No, I 発言しました she should go for it. I think everyone should pursue their dreams. Whether あなた want to play football, act, sing, become a writer または whatever あなた have burning inside あなた as you’re growing up, あなた should pursue it. I’m quite protective of her. I worry that sometimes the business doesn’t see her intelligence and wisdom. We work in a business that’s often predicated on how あなた look. She’s so grounded, I’m sure she’ll be fine.
What are the other pitfalls of acting?
I don’t think there are any. What people could perceive as pitfalls are things I enjoy. I enjoy not knowing where the 次 job is coming from. I 愛 opening a new diary on New Year’s 日 and thinking: ‘I have no idea what’s going to happen this year.’ I could work in a country I’ve never been to または learn new skills for a role. The breadth of experience is where the ジュース is for me. In the past 年 I’ve played the Norse god of mischief, a British cavalry officer in World War I and a fighter pilot. A part of me has experienced all those things. There’s something amazing about being able to step into these people’s shoes.
Are あなた worried Loki will overshadow your career?
Terence Stamp is often remembered for General Zod in スーパーマン 2… I hope not. In one way it’s a huge compliment as Terence Stamp’s General Zod has been taken to the hearts and minds of many people who 愛 films. They’ve just cast Michael Shannon as Zod in the new スーパーマン and people are saying: ‘No one can beat Terence Stamp.’ I’m 30 so I have a few years ahead of me yet to do other things. I think War Horse will surprise people. In Thor I’m the villain and in War Horse I play a decent, kind artist who becomes a cavalry officer. There’s something gracious at the ハート, 心 of the character, which is a world away from what I’m doing in Thor.
Are あなた going to 移動する to Hollywood?
I enjoy going to and fro. I live in ロンドン and Los Angeles is a wonderful place to go to in the winter. LA gets a terrible rap as a shallow place that’s all about t**s and teeth and silly イヌ in Beverly Hills. When I go there, I live on the coast in Venice, which is full of the most amazing technicians – the best cameramen, sound designers, visual effects and concept artists. It’s not as superficial as people think.
Have あなた had any on-stage mishaps?
On the opening night of Cymbeline there was a リスペクト bottle of champagne that was supposed to stay on stage for the first act. I bumped into the table, the champagne bottle tipped over and the first act turned into a bunch of actors trying to avoid a puddle of ginger beer.
What are あなた scared of?
I’m terrified of sharks. Nature has designed the ultimate killing machine. I 愛 swimming in the sea and don’t think about sharks until I’m the furthest person out from the shoreline and then the John Williams Jaws theme starts in my head.
