I'm a bit of a thrill-seeker. I used to race mountain bikes when I was a kid. I did the national circuit for two years.

Coming from Australia and playing rugby, you just think that soccer is a bit soft, but I'll tell you what, it's not. It's rough as guts.

I've gone from being a brilliant captain of a TV soccer team to an average rugby player on a real team. I've gotten so used to ruling the roost and just saying whatever the hell I wanted, and I had to get back to reality.

Acting has always been my passion. It's always been my love, and I've always done it, since I was a kid.

Free-diving is all about being lean, being super-flexible, and having a good breath hold.

My strength is my distance. I can swim two-and-a-half soccer fields on one breath.
