Favourite movie: A Place in the Sun with Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor

Favourite living star: It would have to be Robert De Niro. He continually comes up with it.

Sex: Before I went into movies my father said, 'Whatever you do, don't sleep with anyone on set.' I never have.

Luck: I have been thinking about this. Many people might think that luck has played a major part in my success. But it is more complicated than that. I really did time to get where I am.

Money: (He got $3.5-million - about R28-million - for The Mummy Returns ) You know, maybe because I can now afford things I used to dream of, I no longer want them. I test drove a Porsche the other day and then I thought, 'Do I really need this?' I am quite happy in my bakkie.
