My gosh, I love food. If I wasn’t an actor, I could be a completely different body shape right now.
Write down five things you love to do. Next, write down five things that you're really good at. Then just try to match them up! Revisit your list once a year to make sure you're on the right track.
My friends say, 'Man you're going to have kids sleeping on pillowcases with your face on it! You're going to be on toothbrushes and magnets and stuff.' I guess now that I'm a dad, I'm thrilled about that.
When I come home, my daughter will run to the door and give me a big hug, and everything that's happened that day just melts away.
To me, the smell of fresh-made coffee is one of the greatest inventions.
That's the great thing about parenting. You end up going places you never thought you'd go.
Meditation is all about the pursuit of nothingness. It's like the ultimate rest. It's better than the best sleep you've ever had. It's a quieting of the mind. It sharpens everything, especially your appreciation of your surroundings. It keeps life fresh.
My father is very Jean Valjean. He's what I would call a great example of a religious person. He is a deeply thoughtful man whose religion is in his deeds way more than anything else. It's not talked about that much.
My dad's main client was the World Bank, and he spent most of his time traveling to Third World countries. His particular interest lay in the eradication of poverty through development and business.
I'm not a loner at all.
The first show I ever did, singing and dancing, was 'Beauty and the Beast.' I was playing Gaston. Gaston has red tights, knee high boots, and it's very physical. I had headaches every day for two months.
My favorite play in drama school was 'The Bacchae.' It's about a king who literally gets eaten alive by all the women in the play in a kind of orgy - it's related to the word 'bacchanal' - and I loved that idea of animalistic chaos and following our own desires.
It's absolutely physically demanding to play the role of Wolverine. There's a lot of action, and I try to do as much of it as I can because it's better for the audience.
If I could only do one exercise, it would be dead lifting. For cardio, I dance, I ride my bike, I run and I have kids. There is a... lot of cardio just from being a parent.
I like to dress up in a tailored suit from time to time, and there's a tailor I go to in Naples who's fantastic. But if I told anyone his name, I'd have to kill them.
I always felt love from both my parents.
I've always felt embraced by the Broadway community even before I felt like I earned it.
When you dance, your body just wants to find its natural weight. I'm naturally a lot more Tommy Tune than I am Wolverine.
I wanted to be a lawyer. Then a journalist. Actually, I graduated from university as a journalist.
I lived with a coffee farmer called Dukale on a trip I made with World Vision to Ethiopia, and realised there's no good reason for the disparity in opportunity around the world.
For Sunday breakfast, I make orange and ricotta pancakes, crepes and eggs. You know men, we usually go for breakfast because it's the easiest thing to cook and then we try to make it seem fancy.
I feel so lucky to have both a son and a daughter, because there's a different relationship with each of them.
Coming to terms with our true natures and who we really are has always been a fascination to humans. I know it fascinates me.
I have two children and it's amazing how in tune they are with nature, with light, with smells, with time.
That's all about the natural order of things, the idea of nature protecting children but also children protecting nature.
Salvatore Ferragamo have done some nice handmade suits for me.
But in another world, another life, probably growing up in another country, I might have been more of a dancer.
One thing I do personally started 20 years ago. I started meditating, and I know twice a day I can kind of let everything drop. It's just about being quiet, like drawing back the day, and it allows me to have energy.
I have two kids, career and I travel, and I don't think my life is any different than most couples. The most valuable commodity now for many people is time and how to parcel that out.
But anyone who's done a musical knows; whether you're dancing or not, physically it's the most difficult thing you can do.
