Thanks to DS_Pallas for translation

Muse of the Givenchy "Gentleman only" fragrance, the actor mischievously indulged in our Q&A game. Before the filming of Breath, his first movie as a director.

A cliché about you?
I am Australian and I surf.

The song that carried you away on the dance floor?
Golden Years by David Bowie

Astral Weeks by Van Morrisson

Your fictional hero?
Wile E. Coyote. He never surrenders!

The movie you've never tired of watching?
The Graduate by Mike Nichols.

The work of art that would be perfect in your living room?
A large painting from the Australian painter Bret Witheley

The book you never gave back?
Breath from the Australian Tim Winton, I bought the copyrights to make my first film.

The TV series you were addicted to?
I should answer The Mentalist! But I adored your french series "The Returned".

Cary Grant and Gregory Peck.

Coffee.

The Bondi Iceberg Club in Sydney, the ideal spot in summer. In Paris, I fell in love with your Closerie des Lilas. Perfect for the night.

The city where you would like to start from scratch?
Paris, if I was able to speak French! But I don't think I could start a new life there, because I'm getting recognized way too much! (laughs)

The detail that spoils it for you?
Bitterness. I hate that.
