He has shared the screen with beauties such as Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johanssen and Kate Bosworth, and despite their star status, Jim Sturgess reveals that they’re very down-to-earth.
“I remember when I met Natalie Portman, it was in a field in the middle of Milton Keynes, surrounded by cows***,” he recalls.
“It was probably the most unglamorous setting I could have met a Hollywood star. We instantly got on and became friends very quickly.
“I took Natalie and Scarlett out all the time, when we were in London. They were up for it.
“Kate’s exactly the same. When we were in Boston, we were hanging around these dodgy Irish pubs, sitting in the corner drinking whisky. We corrupted her!”
The 26-year-old, who starred in The Other Boleyn Girl and the upcoming 21, admits Kate – his co-star in 21 – was a laugh to be around.
“She was a good character to have on set, she was a lot of fun,” he adds.
“She takes her acting very seriously, but doesn’t take Hollywood and the world around it as seriously, which is nice, and was definitely one of the team. She kept up with us, as far as the drinking was concerned anyway.”
21 is released on Friday April 11.
