If you express yourself too much. you're overacting; if you underplay it too much, it can come across as wooden.

I don't really think of myself as a heartthrob.

I have so many man crushes - 'my brother' Tom Hardy, Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper - if he's here today, I might get a bit squealish.

It's been great; the whole experience was surreal to me. To go from 'EastEnders' to 'X-Men' was like a dream. I could never have thought when I left 'EastEnders' that I would get this good a gig and so soon.

As far as I know, the original 'X-Men' actors will remain in the franchise.

I love theater. I really want to go back to it.

It's hard to imagine you've got these massive wings in your back. You have to think about how it's going to affect your posture, affect the way you move, just, like, the sheer weight of them.

Working with Mrs. Clarke at The Gryphon School is when I really began to think of acting as a potential career.

I just wanted to get out there and do different roles and try new things.

You're always aware that only eight per cent of actors are in work at one time, so you've got to be thankful for the job you've got and do the best you can.

I don't regret being topless in certain things, but there were some things in 'EastEnders' where there was no reason for me to be topless.

I try not to be topless any more because I don't want that to be my thing.

It's crazy. I couldn't believe it going from 'EastEnders' to 'X-Men.' I was just looking to leave and get any job, so when I actually got the job, I was in dreamland.

I'm really excited to be joining the fantastic cast of 'EastEnders' - a show which my family have watched for years.

On stage, you rehearse for five weeks, and it goes out to 300 people. In 'EastEnders,' you get ten minutes to rehearse, and seven million people watch it!

It's great to be up for 'Best Newcomer' and 'Sexiest Male.'

For a while, I didn't want to leave the house. Eventually, I just got sick of being indoors. Now I take steps not to be noticed when I don't want to be. For instance, I live near Westfield shopping centre, so I won't go there at the weekend.

I'm chuffed to be getting gritty stuff.

I'd love to play a lead in the theatre.
