00:00 You've got this film coming out and The Killer at the same time.
00:03 And I read your Wikipedia and it was like,
00:05 "Oh, you've been on a hiatus," which sounds...
00:08 I know you've been driving and producing and all sorts in between.
00:11 Does this feel like coming back from a longer break
00:14 or is this just a natural part of...
00:17 I know it definitely feels like coming back,
00:19 having not had anything out since, I think, 2018.
00:24 I think that was Dark Phoenix was the last one, maybe. I'm not sure.
00:28 It was, you know...
00:31 I definitely wanted to stop when I did stop
00:34 and then getting into the racing.
00:36 And it wasn't necessarily a hiatus from acting,
00:39 it's just when I'm racing, I can't get in short to act.
00:43 You know what I mean? For the obvious reasons.
00:45 So, you know, racing season would start beginning of April and end of October.
00:50 So whatever would come into that short time frame,
00:54 that's what I could work on. And this was one of them.
00:56 I literally finished a race in Portimao in Portugal
01:00 and then got on a plane, flew straight out for this.
01:04 So it just sort of worked out like that.
01:06 And to do the racing, to give it a proper go,
01:09 I felt like five years is the minimum you can do anything
01:13 and give it a decent sort of...
01:15 Unless you're Kaimana and she just walks on a film set,
01:18 nails it straight away. Frustrating.
01:23 Just to follow up on that then,
01:25 with your projects going forward,
01:27 do you feel like you're being more picky about them?
01:29 Because obviously you've done the X-Men and Assassin's Creed
01:32 and all those big things.
01:33 And now it feels like the killer's a more personal drama.
01:37 It feels smaller but still big and different.
01:40 Do you think your approach to choosing projects has changed?
01:43 Yeah, for sure it has.
01:44 Because before I was doing three films a year,
01:47 my career was everything and I was very focused on it
01:50 in quite a sort of singular way.
01:55 Now I've got a family, so that's my priority.
01:59 If I can then work with great filmmakers,
02:02 that's basically the goal.
02:03 Find a project, one a year.
02:06 And then also that it falls in line with my wife.
02:10 When she does a job, I want to be at home with our son.
02:13 And then vice versa, when I'm working, she can be there.
02:17 So it's just working that balance.
