Animals were my passion from even before I could speak apparently. When I was about 10, 11 I fell in love with Tarzan.
The only way to convert a heathen is to travel into the jungle.
For my character, I mostly shot in the jungles and also did stunts and fight sequences on the harness. At the end of the day, I used to be hurt and bruised, but I completely enjoyed doing all these.
There is nothing like the thrill of walking through the jungle looking for a tiger and knowing they could be watching you already.
But I went down to Venezuela and spend a few weeks going through jungles. It's fantastic looking.
Let us keep the dance of rain our fathers kept and tread our dreams beneath the jungle sky.
Truthfully, I love being in the jungle. I love it when the make-up artists come to set, they come equipped with dirt and sweat. I spend my days climbing trees and I can crawl out of bed and walk on set and that's exactly all I have to look like.
I'd really like to go down the Amazon in some capacity. I've spent time in the Congo, so I love the jungle.
It is not that I don't have a fear of sharks, it is that I have a respect for them, so that I know any more than if I were to go into the jungle, I would have a fear of tigers, that I would try to lower the odds.
