-I'm Daniel Glyn.	0:00:03	0:00:05
-I'm interviewing -Hollywood star Ioan Gruffudd...	0:00:06	0:00:09
-..at a hotel outside Newport.	0:00:10	0:00:12
-The secret of a successful interview -is to blend in...	0:00:12	0:00:16
-..and avoid drawing attention.	0:00:16	0:00:19
-Ioan was taking part in -a pro-celebrity golf tournament...	0:00:19	0:00:23
-..with some of my footballing heroes -- Alwyn Hansen and Benny Dalglish.	0:00:23	0:00:28
-Like everyone else pitchside, -I didn't want to miss a second.	0:00:28	0:00:33
-But I had an interview to do.	0:00:35	0:00:37
-Ioan's career has taken him all -the way to Hollywood from Cwmderi...	0:00:37	0:00:42
-..so I began by asking him -what it was like...	0:00:42	0:00:45
-..appearing on a national soap opera -at such a young age.	0:00:45	0:00:49
-It wasn't the coolest thing -in the world.	0:00:49	0:00:51
-When I got the job -in Pobol Y Cwm as a teenager...	0:00:52	0:00:56
-..people started saying...	0:00:56	0:00:59
-.."He's found his way in because -his dad's the bloody deputy..."	0:00:59	0:01:04
-That kind of thing.	0:01:04	0:01:06
-Likewise if I was given -a good mark for a Welsh essay.	0:01:06	0:01:11
-I remember sitting -in a Welsh lesson in sixth form.	0:01:11	0:01:16
-The teacher said, "You've -three weeks to write an essay...	0:01:19	0:01:23
-"..four sides long, -on a subject of your choice."	0:01:24	0:01:27
-I didn't do it.	0:01:28	0:01:30
-I remember sitting at home and -writing about a page and a half...	0:01:30	0:01:34
-..thinking it was great, -it didn't need any more.	0:01:35	0:01:38
-I thought it'd placate -my Welsh teacher.	0:01:38	0:01:41
-But she read it aloud in class -as an example.	0:01:41	0:01:44
-I felt so proud, sitting there.	0:01:45	0:01:47
-One of my classmates -whispered to another...	0:01:47	0:01:51
-.."He's had help at home."	0:01:51	0:01:54
-Never mind about all that because -I'm sure it's helped your career.	0:01:54	0:01:59
-It's not just about -your acting skills.	0:02:00	0:02:02
-Your ability to be places on time -and learning your lines also count.	0:02:03	0:02:07
-Without a doubt.	0:02:07	0:02:09
-Poor Mam and Dad couldn't get me out -of bed in time for school at nine...	0:02:09	0:02:13
-..and I lived three quarters -of a mile from Glantaf.	0:02:14	0:02:17
-Embarrassing.	0:02:17	0:02:19
-But for Pobol Y Cwm, -I'd be there at 6.00am on the dot.	0:02:19	0:02:23
-I walked to the studio -in the wind and rain.	0:02:23	0:02:26
-I had no trouble getting up.	0:02:26	0:02:28
-I loved it.	0:02:29	0:02:31
-You're right, in terms of getting up -and being there on time...	0:02:31	0:02:35
-..and knowing my lines...	0:02:35	0:02:37
-..it was -an unforgettable experience.	0:02:39	0:02:42
-It's stayed with me to this day.	0:02:42	0:02:46
-Huw Ceredig, who played your father, -was something of a mentor to you.	0:02:46	0:02:51
-Yes, he played my father -in Pobol Y Cwm...	0:02:51	0:02:54
-..and I was -in the soap for seven years.	0:02:54	0:02:59
-The majority of my scenes -were with him.	0:02:59	0:03:03
-He was the first person -to take me under his wing...	0:03:04	0:03:07
-..and give me encouragement.	0:03:08	0:03:10
-He introduced me -to the acting world...	0:03:10	0:03:15
-..as a professional actor...	0:03:15	0:03:17
-..and introduced me -to the social life.	0:03:17	0:03:21
-He was a colourful character.	0:03:21	0:03:25
-He was larger than life.	0:03:25	0:03:27
-He was the leader on set.	0:03:33	0:03:36
-Everyone looked up to Huw.	0:03:36	0:03:38
-Huw was the don, as it were.	0:03:38	0:03:42
-Both on and off set.	0:03:42	0:03:45
-Although I was underage, -many a drunken night...	0:03:45	0:03:50
-..was spent with Huw Ceredig...	0:03:50	0:03:54
-..and the rest of the cast.	0:03:55	0:03:57
-I also went on tour -with the Cwmderi football team.	0:03:59	0:04:02
-We went around the country -playing against young farmers...	0:04:02	0:04:07
-..or local fire brigades -to raise money for local charities.	0:04:07	0:04:11
-We'd stay in B&Bs -and have lock-ins in pubs.	0:04:12	0:04:15
-There I was, -a wide-eyed 16-year-old...	0:04:16	0:04:20
-..experiencing -the social life of an actor.	0:04:20	0:04:24
-You were in college at RADA.	0:04:25	0:04:27
-Did you enjoy the experience?	0:04:27	0:04:29
-What happened to me at RADA...	0:04:31	0:04:35
-..was this.	0:04:35	0:04:37
-I had already acted.	0:04:38	0:04:40
-I knew I wasn't a fantastic actor...	0:04:41	0:04:45
-..but I knew I had talent.	0:04:45	0:04:47
-I enjoyed it -and was paid for my acting.	0:04:47	0:04:50
-But RADA completely threw me.	0:04:50	0:04:54
-I loved the singing, -dancing, fencing...	0:04:54	0:04:58
-..stage combat, -voice and movement lessons.	0:04:58	0:05:02
-I spent three years learning -a wide range of different skills...	0:05:02	0:05:08
-..as a stage actor.	0:05:08	0:05:11
-But what I wasn't very good at...	0:05:11	0:05:16
-..according to the teacher...	0:05:16	0:05:18
-..was acting.	0:05:18	0:05:20
-Everything I did was wrong.	0:05:21	0:05:23
-I hit some very low points -while I was in college.	0:05:23	0:05:27
-I wanted to leave.	0:05:27	0:05:31
-My dream had been shattered.	0:05:31	0:05:33
-"I can't do it, I can't hack it. -Everything's wrong."	0:05:36	0:05:39
-I told my parents I wanted to leave.	0:05:39	0:05:42
-Dad said, "Do yourself a favour. -You won't regret it.	0:05:42	0:05:47
-"Just finish the course -and if you still hate acting...	0:05:47	0:05:51
-"..make your decision then."	0:05:52	0:05:54
-So I finished the course...	0:05:55	0:05:57
-..and during the final play in the -final term, my confidence returned.	0:05:57	0:06:04
-A night called -the Tree Evening was held...	0:06:07	0:06:09
-..in which you acted for -four minutes in front of agents.	0:06:10	0:06:14
-I did two duologues -instead of two monologues.	0:06:14	0:06:19
-One of them -was Translations by Brian Friel.	0:06:19	0:06:23
-I played the British officer.	0:06:24	0:06:27
-I wore a red tunic, frilly shirt...	0:06:27	0:06:30
-..a pair of boots and pantaloons.	0:06:30	0:06:34
-The agents said, "He looks great -in a period costume."	0:06:34	0:06:38
-I went straight into a pilot -for Poldark.	0:06:38	0:06:43
-I found an agent and -the casting director had seen me...	0:06:43	0:06:48
-..and I got the job within -three weeks of leaving college.	0:06:48	0:06:52
-From what I can see, you seem -to pick and choose your roles.	0:06:52	0:06:56
-Do you have a plan?	0:06:56	0:06:58
-I'm at -an interesting point in my life...	0:06:58	0:07:01
-..because I don't look...	0:07:02	0:07:05
-I'm turning 40 soon.	0:07:05	0:07:08
-I'm in a period of transition -at the moment.	0:07:09	0:07:12
-I can't play someone -who's 30 any more on camera.	0:07:12	0:07:16
-Maybe a 35-year-old, at a push.	0:07:17	0:07:21
-It's a period of transition -and it's difficult.	0:07:22	0:07:26
-I'm auditioning for parts...	0:07:26	0:07:29
-..but I'm not -getting them at the moment.	0:07:30	0:07:32
-I go to dozens of auditions.	0:07:33	0:07:35
-Your confidence takes a knock...	0:07:35	0:07:37
-..especially when you -have to provide for your family.	0:07:37	0:07:41
-I have to pay for Ella's schooling, -healthcare and childcare.	0:07:42	0:07:46
-Unfortunately, I'm shouldering -all that responsibility...	0:07:46	0:07:51
-..going into these auditions, -which is the worst thing you can do.	0:07:52	0:07:56
-You don't want to appear desperate!	0:07:56	0:07:59
-I've been working -with a psychologist...	0:08:02	0:08:04
-..to try and overcome this...	0:08:05	0:08:07
-..in order to feel more at ease...	0:08:07	0:08:09
-..and carefree, -like I don't really care.	0:08:10	0:08:13
-It's been a big help.	0:08:14	0:08:17
-But what's interesting -at the moment...	0:08:17	0:08:20
-..is that I'm invited -to be a guest star in something...	0:08:20	0:08:25
-..on a weekly basis, which is great.	0:08:25	0:08:27
-People still regard me -as a leading man...	0:08:28	0:08:31
-..and an interesting actor...	0:08:31	0:08:33
-..but in my own mind, -there's an element of insecurity.	0:08:33	0:08:38
-After playing -the superhero Mr Fantastic...	0:08:38	0:08:41
-..in Fantastic Four, -Ioan accepts invitations...	0:08:41	0:08:44
-..to events -such as the Dallas Comic Con...	0:08:45	0:08:48
-..to join Spiderman, -Superman and Captain America.	0:08:48	0:08:52
-The Comic Con is very different -from the Eisteddfod.	0:08:52	0:08:56
-It's more like the Royal Welsh.	0:08:56	0:08:58
-It's more like the Royal Welsh. - -Let me see your weapon.	0:08:58	0:09:00
-Raise 'em right.	0:09:02	0:09:04
-She went, -"They were warm two hours ago."	0:09:08	0:09:11
-By the time we arrived, Ioan was -wooing the crowd in a Q&A session.	0:09:11	0:09:17
-Everyone else had dressed like -their favourite sci-fi characters.	0:09:18	0:09:23
-They say you should always -let the Wookiee win.	0:09:23	0:09:28
-Oh, he has.	0:09:30	0:09:33
-I failed to convince the crowd that -I was the famous Welsh superhero...	0:09:38	0:09:42
-..Capten Chwyslyd (Captain Sweaty).	0:09:43	0:09:45
-Then I remembered I'd brought -my Harry Potter disguise.	0:09:46	0:09:49
-I needed a quiet place -in which to conduct the interview.	0:09:50	0:09:53
-We're hiding from the crowds.	0:09:54	0:09:56
-Being the geek that I am, -I've enjoyed today.	0:09:56	0:09:59
-Why did you decide to attend -the Comic Con as Mr Fantastic?	0:10:00	0:10:05
-To be honest, -I didn't know what to expect...	0:10:05	0:10:09
-..when I attended the first -Comic Con in Knoxville, Tennessee...	0:10:09	0:10:15
-..called Adventure Con.	0:10:15	0:10:17
-It was held in a hall -a quarter the size of this.	0:10:17	0:10:20
-It was a little bit sad, -to some extent.	0:10:21	0:10:24
-Do you remember that scene in -The Wrestler right at the start...	0:10:24	0:10:29
-..when about three people -ask for his autograph?	0:10:29	0:10:33
-It was -a little bit like that for me.	0:10:33	0:10:35
-I was sitting -next to John Bernthal...	0:10:35	0:10:38
-..who appeared in the first series -of Walking Dead.	0:10:38	0:10:42
-He signed autographs all weekend.	0:10:42	0:10:45
-He made a small fortune -that weekend.	0:10:45	0:10:48
-It's been interesting -because since then...	0:10:48	0:10:52
-..my name...	0:10:52	0:10:55
-..or the Ioan Gruffudd brand, -as it were...	0:10:55	0:10:59
-..has been out there -because people have been tweeting...	0:10:59	0:11:03
-..and talking about the convention.	0:11:04	0:11:06
-On IMDB, my ranking has gone -from being in the thousands...	0:11:06	0:11:11
-..to the hundreds now...	0:11:11	0:11:13
-..because -I've turned out to meet the fans.	0:11:14	0:11:17

-Nice to meet you.	0:11:32	0:11:33
-Nice to meet you. - -Nice to meet you too.	0:11:33	0:11:35
-I know you're a candid person, -perhaps a little too candid...	0:11:36	0:11:40
-..and it's got you -into trouble with your fans.	0:11:41	0:11:44
-I've a story to tell you, -but it may be a little long-winded.	0:11:44	0:11:48
-A small group of women -created The Ladies Of The Forum...	0:11:48	0:11:53
-..to honour Horatio Hornblower.	0:11:53	0:11:56
-That was their title.	0:11:56	0:11:58
-They held an annual convention...	0:11:59	0:12:01
-..and the 20 or so of them would -get together somewhere in America.	0:12:01	0:12:06
-It grew in popularity -and by the third convention...	0:12:06	0:12:10
-..they held the event in London -on Hornblower's ship...	0:12:10	0:12:14
-..that was moored -in St Catherine's Dock.	0:12:14	0:12:17
-I was invited to attend -but I didn't want to go.	0:12:17	0:12:20
-One night, I was sitting -in my flat in London...	0:12:20	0:12:24
-..around 11.00pm at night...	0:12:24	0:12:26
-..when there was -a knock at the door.	0:12:27	0:12:29
-Two American women -were standing there.	0:12:29	0:12:32
-"Hi, Ioan, we've come over -for the convention...	0:12:33	0:12:36
-"..and we just wanted -to say hi and..."	0:12:36	0:12:39
-"How did you know I was here?"	0:12:39	0:12:41
-"I work for American Airlines -and I got your address...	0:12:41	0:12:45
-"..so I just thought I'd come.	0:12:45	0:12:48
-"We just wanted to see you."	0:12:48	0:12:50
-Instead of saying, "Would you mind -leaving, you crazy women?"...	0:12:50	0:12:55
-..I said, "Welcome. Come in. -Would you like a cup of tea?"	0:12:56	0:13:01
-I had no milk, so I went out -and left them in the house.	0:13:01	0:13:05
-I came back -and they didn't want tea.	0:13:05	0:13:07
-All I had to offer them -was orange squash.	0:13:08	0:13:11
-Matthew and I -lived together at the time.	0:13:11	0:13:14
-I'd mentioned the flat we'd bought -together in numerous interviews.	0:13:14	0:13:19
-They remembered the article -in Esquire Magazine or whatever.	0:13:19	0:13:25
-"Oh, yes, there's the blow-up sofas -you bought on the Kilburn high road.	0:13:25	0:13:30
-"There's the TV -and the box still..."	0:13:31	0:13:35
-They knew everything about us.	0:13:35	0:13:37
-Anyway, the following night, -I went along to the convention.	0:13:37	0:13:42
-I phoned a few Hornblower mates -and we decided to turn up.	0:13:42	0:13:47
-Interestingly, the fact -I was there in the flesh...	0:13:47	0:13:51
-..shattered the illusion -and the mystique for most of them.	0:13:51	0:13:56
-They weren't at all euphoric -that I'd turned up.	0:13:56	0:13:59
-They were like, -"Oh, there's Ioan."	0:14:00	0:14:02
-I shattered the illusion for them -by showing up.	0:14:02	0:14:07
-You're attending today -as Mr Fantastic.	0:14:08	0:14:11
-I want to know -how you came to be Mr Fantastic.	0:14:11	0:14:16
-They didn't -just phone you up right away?	0:14:16	0:14:19
-No. I went for the audition.	0:14:20	0:14:22
-That was early on in the process.	0:14:23	0:14:26
-Months beforehand, in fact.	0:14:26	0:14:29
-I told them, -"I'm not going to do the audition...	0:14:31	0:14:36
-"..because I'm not ready.	0:14:36	0:14:38
-"I need more time to prepare."	0:14:38	0:14:40
-Dr Reed Richards had a long speech -in the script they sent me...	0:14:40	0:14:45
-..which I had to prepare for.	0:14:45	0:14:47
-I wasn't -going to be ready in time...	0:14:48	0:14:50
-..so I postponed the audition -for about a fortnight.	0:14:50	0:14:54
-When I eventually went for the -first audition, I was ready for it.	0:14:54	0:14:59
-I was all over it.	0:14:59	0:15:02
-They were very keen -for the role to be mine...	0:15:02	0:15:06
-..but nobody knew -who the hell I was.	0:15:06	0:15:11
-I remember hearing a conversation -between the executives at Fox...	0:15:12	0:15:17
-..and the people who were -going to make the decision.	0:15:17	0:15:21
-"Who the hell is this guy? -We can't even say his name."	0:15:21	0:15:25
-Just by being in the right place -at the right time...	0:15:25	0:15:30
-..there were posters for -the King Arthur movie everywhere.	0:15:30	0:15:35
-Jerry Bruckheimer from Disney -had spent a fortune on posters...	0:15:35	0:15:39
-..promoting King Arthur.	0:15:39	0:15:41
-"Who's this guy? Who's this guy -I'm gonna cast in this part?"	0:15:41	0:15:45
-"It's that guy there next to -Clive Owen and Keira Knightley."	0:15:45	0:15:49
-"I love that guy!"	0:15:49	0:15:51
-So it was purely by accident -that my face was on the poster...	0:15:51	0:15:56
-..next to Clive Owen -and Keira Knightley.	0:15:56	0:15:59
-So I got the part.	0:15:59	0:16:01
-It was a very drawn-out process.	0:16:01	0:16:04
-I didn't think I had much chance...	0:16:04	0:16:07
-..because he was a quintessentially -American character...	0:16:07	0:16:11
-..from the 1960s comics.	0:16:12	0:16:14
-People had an idea -of who should play the part...	0:16:14	0:16:17
-..but it was a Welshman from Cardiff -who landed the role.	0:16:17	0:16:21
-He's very American.	0:16:21	0:16:23
-I'm well aware -that there's a lot of envy...	0:16:23	0:16:28
-..in this industry.	0:16:29	0:16:31
-The Americans must've gone nuts.	0:16:31	0:16:33
-Interestingly, when we -were introduced to the fans...	0:16:34	0:16:37
-..in the San Diego Comic Con, the -biggest convention in the world...	0:16:38	0:16:42
-..as well as a sensory overload...	0:16:43	0:16:46
-..they introduced us one by one.	0:16:46	0:16:49
-Please welcome to the stage -Chris Evans as Johnny Storm.	0:16:49	0:16:53
-Everyone was cheering.	0:16:54	0:16:56
-Please welcome -Michael Chiklis from The Shield.	0:16:56	0:17:00
-Yay!	0:17:00	0:17:02
-Ladies and gentlemen, -please welcome Ioan Gruffudd...	0:17:02	0:17:06
-..who's going to play Mr Fantastic.	0:17:06	0:17:08
-I started speaking -in my normal accent...	0:17:11	0:17:14
-..and people were thinking, -'They've cast a bloody Englishman...	0:17:15	0:17:20
-'..to play this role.'	0:17:20	0:17:22
-They were devastated.	0:17:22	0:17:24
-Thank goodness -Jessica Alba was last.	0:17:24	0:17:27
-Please welcome Jessica Alba.	0:17:27	0:17:29
-But to begin with, it was like, -"What the hell have they done?"	0:17:31	0:17:35
-I really felt at the time...	0:17:35	0:17:38
-..because of the reaction...	0:17:38	0:17:40
-..that they were -going to recast the part.	0:17:41	0:17:45
-You got to experience -the opening weekend...	0:17:45	0:17:48
-..and not many actors -get that chance.	0:17:48	0:17:51
-What was it like -and did you enjoy it at the time?	0:17:52	0:17:55
-I loved it. -It was a fantastic experience.	0:17:56	0:17:59
-I remember getting up -on the Saturday morning...	0:17:59	0:18:05
-..because a film opens on a Friday -night domestically in America.	0:18:05	0:18:10
-I was up early -because I was very nervous.	0:18:10	0:18:13
-Box office figures on the -opening weekend are so important...	0:18:13	0:18:17
-..in terms of any film's success.	0:18:18	0:18:20
-The phone rang -at eight o'clock in the morning.	0:18:22	0:18:25
-It was Tom Rothman, 20th -Century Fox's Chief Executive...	0:18:25	0:18:29
-..saying, "Congratulations, -the film's going to be a success.	0:18:29	0:18:33
-"We're going to make 60-70 million -on the opening weekend.	0:18:34	0:18:38
-"The film's a hit."	0:18:38	0:18:40
-It was an unbelievable phone call.	0:18:40	0:18:43
-I knew -there'd definitely be a sequel.	0:18:43	0:18:47
-The film had been warmly received -by the fans right across America.	0:18:47	0:18:52
-We went all over the world -promoting the film.	0:18:52	0:18:55
-We went to Japan, Australia, -all over Europe.	0:18:55	0:18:59
-I got to enjoy my first trip -on board a private jet.	0:18:59	0:19:04
-Our feet didn't touch the ground -during the promotional tour.	0:19:04	0:19:10
-Did you appreciate it at the time?	0:19:10	0:19:13
-Did you think, 'I won't get used to -this, I'm just going to enjoy it'?	0:19:13	0:19:17
-I learnt very early on, I might -have already mentioned this...	0:19:17	0:19:22
-..but when I got the role -of Jeremy Poldark in Poldark...	0:19:22	0:19:26
-..it was a pilot -which was to become a series.	0:19:26	0:19:29
-Poldark was an incredibly -popular series back in the 1970s.	0:19:29	0:19:34
-When I got the pilot, -I thought, 'This is it.	0:19:34	0:19:39
-'I'm going to be Jeremy Poldark. -It's going to be huge.'	0:19:39	0:19:43
-The pilot wasn't shown for a year -and no series was commissioned.	0:19:43	0:19:47
-I learnt at 21 years of age -to expect nothing.	0:19:47	0:19:52
-Nothing.	0:19:52	0:19:54
-It was a valuable lesson.	0:19:54	0:19:56
-When Fantastic Four came about...	0:19:56	0:19:59
-..I was going to enjoy -every second of it.	0:19:59	0:20:03
-I never take anything for granted.	0:20:03	0:20:05
-I never take anything for granted -until the film's in the bag.	0:20:05	0:20:10
-People say, "I've got the job."	0:20:10	0:20:12
-But I say, -"Wait until you're on set first"...	0:20:12	0:20:16
-..or, "Wait until you've been paid.	0:20:16	0:20:18
-"Wait until -the film's been released."	0:20:18	0:20:21
-Hope for the best -but expect nothing.	0:20:21	0:20:26
-That's always been my mantra.	0:20:27	0:20:29
-I'd love it to happen again...	0:20:29	0:20:31
-..but if it doesn't, I've had -a taste of what it's like...	0:20:31	0:20:35
-..to be a worldwide star...	0:20:36	0:20:37
-..for a short time, at least, -and it was bloody amazing.	0:20:38	0:20:41
-Here's a tip - if you ever want -to hold an interview in peace...	0:20:45	0:20:49
-..you know who to call.	0:20:49	0:20:50
-..you know who to call. - -Thanks for having us.	0:20:50	0:20:52
-I really appreciate it. -Thank you for being so generous.	0:20:53	0:20:56
-Thank you, young man. -What's your name?	0:20:57	0:20:59
-Dorian.	0:21:00	0:21:01
-Dorian. - -Dorian, I'm Ioan.	0:21:01	0:21:03
-Things weren't ideal -at the Comic Con.	0:21:03	0:21:05
-That's the worst Batman -in the world.	0:21:12	0:21:14
-This is the worst R2-D2 -I've ever seen.	0:21:15	0:21:17
-Up to now, -I'd managed to avoid security.	0:21:22	0:21:24
-But it was obvious my time at the -Dallas Comic Con would end abruptly.	0:21:25	0:21:30
-I was thrown out by a Sith.	0:21:30	0:21:32
-After the Comic Con, Ioan -was returning home to Hollywood...	0:21:43	0:21:48
-..and whether he liked it or not, -I was hot on his heels.	0:21:48	0:21:52

-Los Angeles is a difficult place -to film an interview.	0:22:02	0:22:06
-Capitol Records refused, -Chateau Marmont refused.	0:22:06	0:22:10
-The Beverly Hills Hotel refused.	0:22:11	0:22:13
-Even the beach refused.	0:22:14	0:22:16
-We decided to film on the balcony -of the motel I was staying at...	0:22:16	0:22:21
-..since we'd already paid for it.	0:22:21	0:22:24
-There's nothing worse than being -messed about by a prima donna...	0:22:24	0:22:28
-..who keeps you waiting, -and this was no exception.	0:22:29	0:22:32
-12 years ago in an interview, -you said you'd never move to LA.	0:22:39	0:22:44
-That changed.	0:22:45	0:22:46
-You didn't move here temporarily, -it's become your home.	0:22:46	0:22:50
-When was that fateful moment...	0:22:51	0:22:53
-..when you decided -to move to Los Angeles?	0:22:53	0:22:56
-If I'm honest about it...	0:22:57	0:23:00
-..I think it stems from...	0:23:00	0:23:03
-..being brought up....	0:23:03	0:23:07
-..in that Welsh-language culture -that exists in Cardiff...	0:23:07	0:23:13
-..or in the Welsh-language -tradition of Wales.	0:23:13	0:23:18
-I'd say very idealistic things.	0:23:18	0:23:23
-That I was going to live in Wales.	0:23:24	0:23:26
-That I -was going to marry a Welsh woman.	0:23:26	0:23:29
-That I wasn't going to marry -an English woman.	0:23:33	0:23:37
-I've actually said something -as radical as that.	0:23:37	0:23:40
-It was part -of our upbringing in Wales...	0:23:41	0:23:45
-..like going to -a Welsh-medium school and so on.	0:23:45	0:23:48
-Subconsciously, I didn't know -why I was saying these things.	0:23:48	0:23:53
-I wasn't comfortable saying them.	0:23:53	0:23:55
-They were things -perhaps I felt I should be saying...	0:23:56	0:24:00
-..out of respect -for where I'd come from.	0:24:00	0:24:03
-I'm being completely honest here.	0:24:03	0:24:05
-When it came to the point...	0:24:06	0:24:10
-..of making the decision -to come out here...	0:24:10	0:24:14
-..and be part of this world...	0:24:14	0:24:16
-..it was a kind of rite of passage.	0:24:17	0:24:20
-I'd been in the public eye -from age 11 onwards.	0:24:20	0:24:23
-After the success of Hornblower -and coming out here to do Titanic...	0:24:23	0:24:28
-..I was still saying these things...	0:24:29	0:24:31
-..but I knew -I wasn't being honest with myself.	0:24:31	0:24:34
-I thought, 'Ioan, you're not being -honest with yourself.	0:24:35	0:24:39
-'You don't really think this way.	0:24:39	0:24:41
-'You're saying things -to please the nation or whoever.'	0:24:41	0:24:47
-But I took -a good look at myself in the mirror.	0:24:47	0:24:50
-I want to be an international actor.	0:24:50	0:24:53
-I want to be part -of the Hollywood scene.	0:24:53	0:24:56
-I also realized -that there are people...	0:24:56	0:25:00
-..who make sweeping statements...	0:25:00	0:25:03
-..in terms of going to Hollywood...	0:25:03	0:25:06
-..but they don't -fully commit themselves.	0:25:06	0:25:09
-I thought, -if I'm going to Hollywood...	0:25:09	0:25:13
-..and that's what I truly want...	0:25:13	0:25:16
-..then no-one -can take that away from me.	0:25:16	0:25:19
-No-one can ever say that I've come -back with my tail between my legs.	0:25:19	0:25:25
-It was my decision -and I expressed it publicly.	0:25:25	0:25:30
-I was open about it -and it was very empowering.	0:25:30	0:25:33
-I haven't looked back.	0:25:33	0:25:35
-It was a turning point -in my career and my life.	0:25:35	0:25:40
-It's been the best thing I've done.	0:25:42	0:25:44
-There were many -cult characters in Comic Con...	0:25:45	0:25:48
-..but you became involved -with a real cult.	0:25:48	0:25:51
-Yes, I did.	0:25:51	0:25:53
-It all happened during -that rite-of-passage stage.	0:25:53	0:25:57
-I was living in London -in those early years.	0:25:57	0:26:01
-Religion -was something I had issues with.	0:26:02	0:26:06
-One day I came out of college...	0:26:06	0:26:10
-..and a boy on the street -asked me for the time.	0:26:10	0:26:15
-I told him and then he asked me if -I fancied going to chapel on Sunday.	0:26:16	0:26:21
-I thought, -'This is some kind of sign.'	0:26:21	0:26:24
-I was unhappy at the time in London.	0:26:24	0:26:27
-I was vulnerable -and I wasn't enjoying the course.	0:26:28	0:26:31
-I thought it might've been -a turning point.	0:26:31	0:26:37
-So I went along.	0:26:37	0:26:40
-It was sort of like...	0:26:44	0:26:47
-..an American church service.	0:26:47	0:26:51
-Happy-clappy, very positive...	0:26:51	0:26:54
-..but not at all scary.	0:26:54	0:26:56
-There were people from all kinds -of backgrounds, ages and families.	0:26:56	0:27:02
-It was incredibly positive.	0:27:02	0:27:04
-It was quite infectious.	0:27:04	0:27:06
-I was asked -at the end of the service...	0:27:07	0:27:09
-..if I'd like to join them -for Bible studies.	0:27:10	0:27:13
-I said, -"OK, that sounds interesting."	0:27:13	0:27:16
-So we went to McDonald's -for Bible studies.	0:27:16	0:27:19
-Just the male members.	0:27:19	0:27:21
-I should've realized -at that point...	0:27:22	0:27:25
-..but that's when -I started to question...	0:27:25	0:27:30
-..whether or not I was Christian.	0:27:30	0:27:32
-I thought I was because -I'd gone to chapel all my life.	0:27:33	0:27:36
-I could recite chunks -from the Bible.	0:27:36	0:27:40
-"But do you do this?," they asked.	0:27:40	0:27:43
-I said I didn't think I did it -literally but I did it spiritually.	0:27:43	0:27:48
-"Well, would you do this then?	0:27:48	0:27:51
-"If you don't, -then you're not a Christian."	0:27:51	0:27:55
-They went on to prove -what the Bible said.	0:27:55	0:27:58
-A huge shift took place.	0:27:58	0:28:01
-I went from losing my faith -and questioning everything...	0:28:01	0:28:05
-..and I was quite vulnerable -at the time, as it was.	0:28:05	0:28:09
-But instead of shying away, -I embraced it...	0:28:10	0:28:13
-..and became further involved...	0:28:14	0:28:16
-..attending more and more meetings.	0:28:16	0:28:19
-They'd got hold of me by then. -I wanted to learn more.	0:28:19	0:28:24
-The meetings -only involved the brothers.	0:28:24	0:28:28
-There were no women at all.	0:28:28	0:28:31
-They started saying, -"Where do you live in London?"	0:28:31	0:28:35
-"I live in a flat -with two other actors."	0:28:35	0:28:38
-"You'll have to -move out of the flat.	0:28:38	0:28:41
-"What are you -working on in college?"	0:28:41	0:28:44
-"A few scenes -where I have to kiss a girl."	0:28:44	0:28:46
-"You can't kiss her. -Someone will have to chaperone you.	0:28:47	0:28:50
-"You have to dedicate -your life completely."	0:28:51	0:28:56
-At the same time, -it sounds scary...	0:28:56	0:29:01
-..but they were so positive -about the whole thing.	0:29:01	0:29:05
-I thought this is -what it must've been like...	0:29:05	0:29:08
-..being one of the 12 disciples.	0:29:08	0:29:11
-The energy was infectious.	0:29:11	0:29:15
-At that point...	0:29:15	0:29:17
-..Matthew and my other housemate, -Bill, were worried sick about me.	0:29:18	0:29:22
-The next stage -was to baptize me into the chapel...	0:29:22	0:29:28
-..called the -London Church of Christ.	0:29:29	0:29:31
-That weekend, Mam came to London...	0:29:34	0:29:39
-..and basically said, -"What the heck's wrong with you?"	0:29:40	0:29:44
-But I think -I'd come to that conclusion myself.	0:29:44	0:29:48
-This was the crux of the matter.	0:29:48	0:29:50
-I had to pay a tithe to the chapel.	0:29:50	0:29:55
-I'd heard about such a thing...	0:29:55	0:29:58
-..but I didn't think -it was essential.	0:29:59	0:30:02
-I was still -working on Pobol Y Cwm at the time.	0:30:02	0:30:05
-I was going back -during the summer holidays.	0:30:06	0:30:09
-Along with my parents' support, -it helped fund my college life.	0:30:09	0:30:14
-I didn't think it was right.	0:30:14	0:30:17
-So, being -the little miser that I am...	0:30:17	0:30:20
-..it was my wake-up call.	0:30:20	0:30:22
-Moments later, -we were asked to leave the motel.	0:30:22	0:30:26
-But not because we were filming.	0:30:26	0:30:29
-We had to relocate the interview...	0:30:32	0:30:35
-..so I searched the area -and ended up getting lost.	0:30:35	0:30:38
-I could've been anywhere.	0:30:39	0:30:41
-Well, this is a perfection location -in which to film.	0:30:44	0:30:50
-It's the garden of our co-ordinator -here in Los Angeles, Will.	0:30:50	0:30:54
-And here it is.	0:30:54	0:30:58
-At what age did you -land the role of Hornblower?	0:30:59	0:31:02
-I think I was 21, about to turn 22.	0:31:02	0:31:06
-You were just a boy.	0:31:06	0:31:09
-Yes, I looked very young -at the time too.	0:31:09	0:31:13
-I was young -in terms of life experiences too.	0:31:13	0:31:16
-Landing such a role...	0:31:16	0:31:19
-..could've easily gone to your head.	0:31:19	0:31:22
-Did you ever go off the rails?	0:31:22	0:31:23
-Did you ever go off the rails? - -There was one time in London.	0:31:23	0:31:25
-I'd been to a students' reunion.	0:31:26	0:31:31
-I was at the Strand...	0:31:31	0:31:35
-..and for some reason, I was -walking out of the nightclub...	0:31:35	0:31:40
-..and we took a photo of ourselves -in one of those photo booths...	0:31:41	0:31:46
-..and as we walked out...	0:31:46	0:31:49
-..I just saw red.	0:31:49	0:31:51
-I decided to run down the street -shouting, "Freedom!"...	0:31:52	0:31:57
-..like Mel Gibson in Braveheart.	0:31:58	0:32:01
-I caught hold -of a road sweeper's brush.	0:32:01	0:32:06
-There was a brush, a shovel -and a wheelbarrow nearby...	0:32:06	0:32:11
-..and I picked up the brush and ran -towards a lamppost on the Strand.	0:32:11	0:32:16
-I whacked the brush -against the lamppost...	0:32:17	0:32:20
-..as if I were killing someone -in some epic battle...	0:32:20	0:32:25
-..but the brush's head -swung around the lamppost...	0:32:25	0:32:29
-..came back towards me, -flew behind me...	0:32:29	0:32:32
-..and smashed the Royal Bank -of Scotland's window on the Strand.	0:32:32	0:32:36
-How ironic!	0:32:37	0:32:39
-I broke into a panic -like a little cry-baby...	0:32:40	0:32:43
-..worrying that there were -video cameras everywhere.	0:32:43	0:32:47
-I was halfway down the Strand -and the boys ran away laughing.	0:32:47	0:32:52
-I was panicking so much -that I went back.	0:32:52	0:32:55
-I thought, -'My fingerprints are on the brush.'	0:32:55	0:32:58
-So I went back -to the scene of the crime...	0:32:59	0:33:01
-..picked up the brush, -ran over Waterloo Bridge...	0:33:02	0:33:07
-..and threw the brush -into the Thames.	0:33:07	0:33:09
-On the cab journey home, -the boys were going...	0:33:10	0:33:13
-.."His dabs are all over the drum, -he's gonna do time for this."	0:33:13	0:33:17
-I was sobbing like a bloody child.	0:33:18	0:33:20
-That's the only outrageous -and stupid thing I've done...	0:33:20	0:33:25
-..though I'm not proud to admit it.	0:33:26	0:33:28
-I doubt many people -will have much sympathy for a bank.	0:33:29	0:33:32
-No, not in Britain. -They'd be pleased.	0:33:33	0:33:36
-You're not just an actor, -you're a leading man.	0:33:36	0:33:40
-There's a different skill set -required for that.	0:33:41	0:33:44
-How would you describe the process?	0:33:44	0:33:48
-The characters I've played -are similar to myself...	0:33:49	0:33:52
-..rather than the characters -a character actor would play.	0:33:53	0:33:57
-I don't know.	0:34:00	0:34:02
-Whichever character I play, -my appearance and attitude...	0:34:02	0:34:08
-..help to create...	0:34:08	0:34:13
-..characters -who are open, trustworthy...	0:34:13	0:34:17
-..and heroic, for some reason.	0:34:17	0:34:20
-I love playing -those sorts of characters.	0:34:20	0:34:23
-Perhaps because I have -quite an open face and eyes...	0:34:23	0:34:29
-..it'd be difficult -to play a convincing villain...	0:34:29	0:34:33
-..or a character -other than the leading man.	0:34:33	0:34:39
-It'd be difficult for me...	0:34:39	0:34:43
-..to play -some kind of down-and-out...	0:34:43	0:34:47
-..an unpleasant character...	0:34:47	0:34:50
-..or someone very normal.	0:34:50	0:34:53
-There's something larger than life -about the main character in a film.	0:34:53	0:34:59
-All my acting heroes -are leading men.	0:34:59	0:35:01
-I'd love to play roles like that.	0:35:02	0:35:05

-This town -is known to create beasts...	0:35:17	0:35:21
-..in the movie world.	0:35:22	0:35:24
-Mentioning no names, what's the -worst behaviour you've witnessed?	0:35:24	0:35:29
-If there's -a weakness there to begin with...	0:35:30	0:35:33
-..in someone's character...	0:35:33	0:35:36
-..I'd say that success...	0:35:36	0:35:38
-..exacerbates that flaw.	0:35:40	0:35:43
-It makes it a hundred times worse.	0:35:43	0:35:47
-If you're a miserable character -or you're a nasty person...	0:35:47	0:35:51
-..success is -going to make you even nastier.	0:35:51	0:35:55
-If you're a nice, likeable person...	0:35:55	0:35:58
-..who's easy to approach...	0:35:59	0:36:01
-..success makes you even more -approachable and nicer to people.	0:36:01	0:36:07
-Take Tom Hanks for instance.	0:36:07	0:36:10
-He's one of -the nicest people you could meet.	0:36:10	0:36:14
-Steven Spielberg is another.	0:36:14	0:36:16
-Anyone successful, -if they're nice to begin with...	0:36:16	0:36:20
-..success makes them nicer -and vice versa.	0:36:20	0:36:23
-One of the lessons -I learnt early on...	0:36:23	0:36:26
-..is that every transaction -with a person in your life...	0:36:27	0:36:30
-..especially in our industry...	0:36:31	0:36:33
-..you have to make it -a positive transaction...	0:36:34	0:36:37
-..because goodness knows when that -person'll come back into your life.	0:36:37	0:36:42
-The lad who brings -your breakfast to your trailer...	0:36:42	0:36:46
-..or the one who carries your bag...	0:36:46	0:36:49
-..in seven years' time, -he'll be producing something...	0:36:49	0:36:53
-..and you'll be auditioning for him.	0:36:53	0:36:56
-It's important to treat people -as you'd like to be treated.	0:36:56	0:36:59
-You'd have thought...	0:36:59	0:37:03
-..in terms of our industry...	0:37:03	0:37:08
-..that it wouldn't be the men -who created the biggest problems.	0:37:09	0:37:15
-It's the actors who've caused me the -biggest problems, not the actresses.	0:37:15	0:37:20
-The actors I've come across...	0:37:20	0:37:23
-..have been miserable and nasty...	0:37:26	0:37:29
-..and very insecure.	0:37:29	0:37:31
-They've been -very awkward to work with.	0:37:34	0:37:37
-The men have been the hardest -to deal with, for some reason.	0:37:37	0:37:42
-I'm sure I've pissed people off -over the years.	0:37:42	0:37:45
-But for me, -it's all do with concentrating.	0:37:45	0:37:50
-We're all there to achieve -what we've set out to achieve...	0:37:51	0:37:55
-..and I lose my temper -if someone plays around.	0:37:55	0:37:59
-I get angry at those -who don't concentrate.	0:37:59	0:38:02
-It's hard when people -don't take their work seriously...	0:38:02	0:38:06
-..or if they take the piss out of me -in terms of the hours I put in.	0:38:06	0:38:11
-You have to fight your own corner -because no-one will do it for you.	0:38:11	0:38:16
-You represent yourself as a -professional and as the character.	0:38:16	0:38:20
-As an artist, you need the skills -to communicate with the director...	0:38:21	0:38:25
-..and as a professional actor, you -must communicate with the producer.	0:38:26	0:38:30
-That's not easy.	0:38:30	0:38:32
-I've learnt from experience...	0:38:33	0:38:35
-..since I've worked in the industry -from a young age.	0:38:35	0:38:39
-But it's the male actors -who've been the most awkward of all.	0:38:39	0:38:43
-My daughter -is familiar with your work.	0:38:43	0:38:46
-Her favourite is 102 Dalmatians.	0:38:47	0:38:49
-In terms of your career, -I think it was an important role.	0:38:49	0:38:54
-It was a wonderful experience too.	0:38:54	0:38:56
-Talking about awkward actors...	0:38:56	0:39:00
-..they say you should never work -with children or animals...	0:39:00	0:39:04
-..but every morning, I'd be warmly -greeted by the animals, by the dogs.	0:39:05	0:39:09
-They loved seeing you because they -knew they'd be playing all day...	0:39:10	0:39:14
-..performing the skills -they'd learnt...	0:39:15	0:39:17
-..and be rewarded -with a biscuit or a piece of meat.	0:39:18	0:39:21
-They'd be overjoyed to see you.	0:39:21	0:39:24
-I never got fed up of that.	0:39:24	0:39:26
-I also met Alice on set.	0:39:26	0:39:29
-I was living in London -at the time...	0:39:29	0:39:32
-..and she was living in Paris.	0:39:33	0:39:35
-It was an incredible experience.	0:39:35	0:39:37
-It was five months worth of work, -so half a year's work...	0:39:38	0:39:42
-..and the film -was a roaring success worldwide.	0:39:42	0:39:46
-We travelled all over the world -promoting the film.	0:39:46	0:39:50
-The film was launched in New York.	0:39:50	0:39:54
-We had a big premiere in London.	0:39:54	0:39:56
-We went all around Europe -and it was great.	0:39:56	0:39:59
-I read an interview of yours when -you started going out with Alice.	0:40:00	0:40:04
-In your own words, she thought -you were a wanker to begin with.	0:40:04	0:40:09
-Why did she think that and -what did you do to change her mind?	0:40:09	0:40:14
-If I'm being honest...	0:40:14	0:40:17
-..I think at the time...	0:40:17	0:40:20
-..if there was a phase...	0:40:20	0:40:22
-We talked earlier -about that period...	0:40:22	0:40:27
-..where I gave up -on those perceived ideals...	0:40:27	0:40:33
-..of who I thought I was -and where I'd come from...	0:40:34	0:40:37
-..and it was a form -of late rebellion.	0:40:38	0:40:41
-I was single...	0:40:45	0:40:47
-..I'd just finished -a successful series, Hornblower...	0:40:48	0:40:52
-..and was living -in a bachelor pad in London.	0:40:52	0:40:56
-I was going out...	0:40:56	0:40:58
-..with one of -the Appleton sisters at the time.	0:41:00	0:41:03
-I was living the rock'n'roll life.	0:41:03	0:41:06
-If I did come across...	0:41:08	0:41:11
-Your own words.	0:41:11	0:41:13
-Your own words. - -..as a wanker...	0:41:13	0:41:15
-..then fair enough, I probably was.	0:41:15	0:41:19
-It was odd because that was -one of the first few times...	0:41:20	0:41:24
-..that I was being invited...	0:41:24	0:41:27
-..to parties or events...	0:41:27	0:41:31
-..as a celebrity.	0:41:34	0:41:37
-I got to meet all these people -I'd admired over the years.	0:41:37	0:41:41
-I started to feel -part of this world.	0:41:41	0:41:44
-I soon learnt after the first party.	0:41:45	0:41:48
-I was under the impression...	0:41:48	0:41:51
-..that I was -going to get something out of it.	0:41:52	0:41:55
-But after the first party...	0:41:55	0:41:58
-..I found out -it wasn't tangible at all.	0:41:58	0:42:01
-Whatever it was I was searching for -or wanted to be part of...	0:42:01	0:42:05
-..it didn't exist.	0:42:05	0:42:07
-It was very disappointing.	0:42:07	0:42:09
-I realized it was nothing to do -with being famous...	0:42:09	0:42:13
-..or being friends with famous -people or being in the right crowd.	0:42:13	0:42:18
-There are -more important things in life.	0:42:18	0:42:21
-It doesn't exist. It's intangible.	0:42:21	0:42:24
-As a young 25-year-old, -or whatever age I was...	0:42:24	0:42:29
-..I learnt another valuable lesson -about this industry.	0:42:30	0:42:34
-I learnt a lot -from my early success.	0:42:34	0:42:39
-If I had turned into a wanker...	0:42:39	0:42:41
-..then it was a phase I was going -through, and I remember it well.	0:42:41	0:42:46
-I had so much fun.	0:42:46	0:42:49
-But I met Alice on the film set...	0:42:49	0:42:51
-..and everything changed.	0:42:51	0:42:53
-We all know the feeling -when we fall in love.	0:42:56	0:42:59
-I was subconsciously -putting myself in situations...	0:43:00	0:43:04
-..just because -I wanted to be near her.	0:43:04	0:43:06
-And thank goodness for that.	0:43:07	0:43:09
-I think -she saved my life, to be honest.	0:43:09	0:43:12
-I could've gone the other way.	0:43:12	0:43:15
-At least for a time.	0:43:15	0:43:18
-I met her on the film...	0:43:18	0:43:21
-..and it was -at the beginning of my success...	0:43:21	0:43:25
-..and I think she helped steer me...	0:43:25	0:43:29
-..in the right direction.	0:43:29	0:43:33
-I think it's important -to talk about Titanic...	0:43:34	0:43:37
-..because it wasn't Leonardo -DiCaprio who rescued Kate Winslet...	0:43:38	0:43:42
-..but your character.	0:43:42	0:43:44
-If it were up to Leonardo DiCaprio, -she would've died.	0:43:44	0:43:48
-What was it like working on Titanic?	0:43:49	0:43:52
-There was -something very magical about it.	0:43:52	0:43:55
-I knew instantly -that it would be magical.	0:43:56	0:43:58
-I was experiencing things -for the first time.	0:43:58	0:44:02
-Flying to America, flying to Mexico -for the first time...	0:44:02	0:44:06
-..meeting all these actors, working -with DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.	0:44:06	0:44:11
-They were about to become -the world's biggest movie stars.	0:44:11	0:44:15
-It was great -because I felt part of it all.	0:44:15	0:44:18
-I felt as if I was -a bona fide member of the crew.	0:44:18	0:44:23
-I was going through the same process -as Leo and Kate were going through.	0:44:24	0:44:30
-I felt very confident -coming off that film.	0:44:30	0:44:34
-I knew I was cut out to be an actor -and I knew how to act.	0:44:36	0:44:39
-The process I was going through -was the same as theirs...	0:44:39	0:44:43
-..it's just -that the camera loved those two.	0:44:43	0:44:47
-Not that -I'm comparing myself to them...	0:44:47	0:44:50
-..because -they're in a different league.	0:44:50	0:44:53
-But it gave me the confidence to -know this is what I should be doing.	0:44:54	0:44:58
-I should be in front of the camera -as a leading man.	0:44:59	0:45:02
-The role I was given straight after -filming Titanic was Hornblower.	0:45:03	0:45:08
-The audition -with the director was interesting.	0:45:08	0:45:13
-He said, "Come in, come in, come in. -Tell me something about yourself.	0:45:14	0:45:18
-"What have you done -in the last three months?	0:45:19	0:45:22
-"Please, whatever you do, -don't talk about acting.	0:45:22	0:45:25
-"I hate actors -talking about their last jobs."	0:45:26	0:45:29
-I thought, 'I've just come off -the biggest film ever made...	0:45:29	0:45:33
-'..about -the most famous ship ever...	0:45:33	0:45:38
-'..directed by -the respected Terminator director.'	0:45:38	0:45:44
-I was auditioning -for the part of a character...	0:45:44	0:45:47
-..who lived and breathed -on a ship.	0:45:47	0:45:50
-I said, "Actually, I've just -come off the set of Titanic.	0:45:50	0:45:54
-"I think -you might be interested to know."	0:45:55	0:45:58
-So we spoke about Titanic then.	0:45:58	0:46:00
-We had a long chat...	0:46:00	0:46:02
-..about the process Cameron -went through to create Titanic.	0:46:02	0:46:07
-If ever there was a time -to be honest with a director...	0:46:07	0:46:11
-..who didn't want to talk about -an actor's experiences...	0:46:11	0:46:16
-..that was the time to do it.	0:46:16	0:46:19
-You're approaching -your 40th birthday.	0:46:19	0:46:22
-Are you ready for it?	0:46:23	0:46:25
-In terms of the future, -I'm quite excited about it.	0:46:25	0:46:28
-As we know, -in terms of Hollywood's history...	0:46:29	0:46:32
-..the leading man -usually hits his stride at 40.	0:46:32	0:46:39
-Harrison Ford -was discovered in his thirties.	0:46:42	0:46:48
-I'm very excited.	0:46:48	0:46:51
-The older a man gets in Hollywood...	0:46:51	0:46:53
-..the better he becomes, -like a good wine.	0:46:54	0:46:57
-You've an opportunity to play -a leading man for the next 20 years.	0:46:57	0:47:01
-I hope to goodness -I'll grow into the role gracefully.	0:47:01	0:47:07
-I enjoyed meeting Ioan Gruffudd -but it was time to say goodbye.	0:47:14	0:47:18
-In fact, Ioan insisted.	0:47:18	0:47:21
