I've been compared to Jude Law my whole career.

I've been bashed my whole career.

My whole career - I have been really lucky.

I have been an everyday player my whole career.

Throughout my whole swimming career, I've never been disqualified once. I've never been warned once.

Everyone from Tom Cruise to Jude Law was talked about for this role - and not everyone was available, and some we couldn't afford.
