BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

I’ve always wanted to mix it up as much as possible. You can’t keep playing the same record, can you? And you get bored doing the same thing. I’ve always wanted that extra bit of experience, and a good script is hard to find.

Challenge is good and the more people who are prepared to accept you as an actor, the more you get challenging roles, but it’s only doing movies like the Transporter series [he was in Transporter 3, out December 5] and Crank [Crank 2 will be out in a few months] that allows me to be in that position. Otherwise I would have made a very small impact on the action world.

I’ve been with him a few times to the Budokwai centre [for martial arts in Chelsea], where he trains. If you try to use the techniques we use for movie fighting in real fighting, you’d get spanked and be left in a pool of your own blood. The two are completely different.

Growing up, I was the biggest James Bond fan. All I ever wanted to do was the Milk Tray advert, where the guy comes in, delivers the chocolate, jumps off a cliff and dives in. That Milk Tray advert is the reason I got into diving, although these days I’d be hanging around in a wardrobe waiting for her to be in bed, sneak in, slip under the sheets. F*** the chocolates.

There’s something about the adrenaline rush of doing a stunt, testing yourself, putting yourself under that type of pressure. It’s a great reward that comes from that. You are in a situation where you cannot think negatively. You have to commit completely to what you’re doing otherwise there are horrendous consequences. You could die

It’s one, two, three, action. The adrenaline is a great rush, and if you’re successful it’s rewarding. I love it, but it is quite stupid.

Every time I get to see him I’m as happy as a pig in shit, but he’s working so much, and I’ve been working so much, so we don’t get to see each other as much as we’d like.

When I heard that Paul [W S Anderson] was doing Death Race and I was actually sitting down with him, it was like, f***, these cars are the next level of what James Bond had. Mini guns on the bonnet, smoke, napalm, all the gadgetry. I’m a big car fanatic and I never had enough money to buy the cars I wanted.
