exciting
films...
If

you're
going

get
loads
of
it.
I

a
better-looking
'Ocean's

"The
film
allowed
me
to
show
that
I'm
not
just
the
hit-man
person,
the
martial
artist,
the
hero
who's
always
really
serious...
He's
deadly
in
this
film,
but
he's
fun
to
be
with!
If
he's
not
in
conflict
with
you,
he'll
grab
a
beer
and
hang
out
with
you!"
