VC: You’ll be brilliant in Mad Max. Mel Gibson can go to hell. (laughs) Are you allowed to talk about under which circumstances we met and how that anecdote involves Paul Bettany during the filming of The Recknoning?

TH: Go ahead! Don’t be afraid to incriminate me! It was my first part in a feature film, actually. Before, I’d only done the tv show Band of Brothers.

VC: So, would you advise someone who’s shooting their first movie, to take a swing at the lead actor because he’s saying bad things about you?

TH: I didn’t hit him, I slapped him. I didn’t want to leave a mark on his face.

VC: Good thinking. (laughs)
