Ridley called up and said ‘Now, mate, would you mind putting on a significant amount of weight? I see him (the character) as an ex-athlete who has let himself go’. And I trust him so much, I say yes first and rationalise pretentious artistic reason later. When I see my gut hanging between my legs, I don’t know what I was thinking. I’m not sure I’d do that again.
