Ten minutes before shooting a scene I’m usually …
Either getting my body physically ready and warmed up, if it’s a fight sequence, or if it’s an emotional scene I’ll usually be sitting still, going really deep into my thoughts. From the moment they say ”Action!” I just let go. It’s like being that toy, being wound up. You’re sort of winding it, winding it, winding it and then just popping it down and letting it go ”boom” and I go forward, without stopping or knowing what the f— I just did.
After a long day on set, I unwind by…
Going home to my wife and kids. The best thing about having a family is that it’s grounding. I can just go back into the norm, have dinner, put the kids to bed and read stories. I rush back for those things.

When you fly into a country and they ask for your occupation, I never wanted to write ”actor” because it makes me sound like a right dick. It doesn’t seem like an occupation, it just seems like fun.
The biggest surprise I can give away about Kick-Ass 2 is …
At the end of any comic-book movie, just wait until the end of the credits. There’ll always be a little extended scene that will set you up for something else… A little secret, a little homage to all the Marvel movies.
If I could have a superpower it would be …
Time travel. I’m doing so much travelling right now I don’t even know where I am or what time zone it is.
