How well do you think "Better Than Sex" will do internationally?
I think it's one of those films that people can relate to no matter where they are in the world. Because it's a love story it has a universal theme that can travel. Even though it was shot in Sydney and is an Australian film, it could have been shot anywhere.
In the film yourself and Susie Porter's roles don't call for much wardrobe. Is it strange to see your naked body splashed on screen?
Yes, very, but I tend not to think about it too much. I'm not uncomfortable with being naked but some of the positions Jonathan, the director, put us in were quite compromising. Fortunately Susie's got a great sense of humour and we just got on with it and had a laugh. I must admit, my parents haven't seen the film and I'd be quite embarrassed if they did.
How is British cinema perceived in Australia?
Probably better than it is in Britain actually. Most of the British films we've had have been huge hits and the Australian public seems to enjoy them. It makes a change from the American ones I suppose. Like Australian cinema it's probably preceived better internationally than in it's own home. Sometimes films do better abroad than in their own country.
How are you enjoying the UK?
I love it, it feels like my second home. I feel we share similar sorts of sensibilities and outlooks, and a similar sense of humour. I love all those Monty Python films and old British TV comedies.
