They don't grow egos like that in NZ. He's definitely an Aussie. :biggrin:

He's one of those actors that alternates between serious roles and beefcake roles. When he's good, he can be great. Mark Kermode claims that you can always tell if he's going to do some decent acting in a film because he puts on weight for the role! If he buffs up instead, you know he's just there for show.

I wouldn't shag him though. :hehe:

Well done England. I understand it went very well today. I confess I don't completely understand cricket, but I still wish they had it on the Beeb so I could try and learn.
