How does doing Thor compare to doing Chekhov?
অভিনয় is অভিনয় whether you’re doing it in Asgard অথবা in 19th century Russia.
Have আপনি suffered from sibling rivalry such as Loki and Thor?
I have two sisters – one older, one younger – and I প্রণয় 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 বন্ধু who have become honorary brothers. It’s something everyone understands. Whether it’s Cain and Abel অথবা Edmund and Edgar in King Lear, warring brothers is a classic storytelling theme.
Your younger sister is an actress. When she ব্যক্ত she wanted to act did আপনি feel she was encroaching on your territory?
No, I ব্যক্ত she should go for it. I think everyone should pursue their dreams. Whether আপনি want to play football, act, sing, become a writer অথবা whatever আপনি have burning inside আপনি as you’re growing up, আপনি 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 আপনি 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 পরবর্তি job is coming from. I প্রণয় opening a new diary on New Year’s দিন and thinking: ‘I have no idea what’s going to happen this year.’ I could work in a country I’ve never been to অথবা learn new skills for a role. The breadth of experience is where the রস is for me. In the past বছর 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 আপনি worried Loki will overshadow your career?
Terence Stamp is often remembered for General Zod in সুপারম্যান 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 প্রণয় films. They’ve just cast Michael Shannon as Zod in the new সুপারম্যান 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 হৃদয় of the character, which is a world away from what I’m doing in Thor.
Are আপনি going to সরানো to Hollywood?
I enjoy going to and fro. I live in লন্ডন 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 সারমেয় 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 আপনি had any on-stage mishaps?
On the opening night of Cymbeline there was a শ্রদ্ধার্ঘ্য 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 আপনি scared of?
I’m terrified of sharks. Nature has designed the ultimate killing machine. I প্রণয় 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.
