He talks cards and cars with USA TODAY.
A: I got pretty good. You can tell when someone is bluffing by how they place the bets more than any mannerisms or tics. It's whether they are confident or not when they're placing them.
That's how you can really tell.
Q: Do you love to win as much as your character does?
A: I can get pretty competitive when I'm in the moment, yes.
But this is a father-son love story. I like the scene where he lets his father win. It goes against the mythology where the father lets the son win.
Q: You were an assassin inMunichand a killer king inThe Other Boleyn Girl. Are all your movies this intense in terms of preparation?
A: At least this time I didn't have to kill anyone.
Q: You recently crashed your car during a race in Australia. How are you doing?
A: Oh, I'm totally fine.
I was racing with my best mate. We hit a tree. If we had hit it from the side, it could have done some damage.
I was more bummed that a car I had spent two years restoring was totaled.
Q: Your accident was headline news around the world.
A: I know!
It was incredible. A happily married man has to crash his car before he can make news. I crashed a Porsche six years ago and no one cared.
Q: And now, you're shootingThe Time Traveler's Wife. That's one hot movie.
A: Yes, I was told it was highly anticipated.
I didn't even know. That's what you get when you live in Australia. You're so far away from everything.
