How have you been dealing with all the attention your life and everything that surrounds it has been bringing you?

I haven’t really changed that much. I still do the things that I've always done. It’s just that I'm at a different level now in terms of my career. I'm able to meet extremely talented film-makers and writers and directors – everyone in the business. I'm just in a different position than I've ever been in. But, you know, my personal life hasn't changed. I still go surfing and hang out with friends. I just feel very lucky to be where I am and to be able to make movies.

There has been an enormous buzz around the world following The Hunger Games. What’s it like being caught up in it all?

What attracted you to the production and to the role?

It’s been different to any kind of movie that I've done before. I think it has given me a chance to show something different as an actor and be seen in a different light.

Pretty much the whole of March I've been travelling, doing press everywhere. It’s been awesome. I've never promoted something as big as this. So it’s been pretty cool. As an actor I always look for things I relate to in one way or another, or things that are different. And this is definitely all that and has a huge fan base behind it already. I've never been a part of something like that before so it has been interesting.

As a kid I always loved movies; I would sit down and watch movies all day long.
