In true-life dramas, you have to do so much research. It's a big responsibility to make sure things are as correct as possible. In 'Robin Hood', you have more artistic license - it's all action, adventure and reaction. This gives everyone a chance to make their characters their own and to make them believable.

It is a big responsibility to headline on pay-per-view.

My films have always been considered the benchmark in action. I have a big responsibility to shoulder.

My agent asked if I fancied Robin Hood and I thought: 'Yeah, why not?' I hadn't watched it, to be honest, but I'd seen bits and knew it was really popular Saturday family viewing with heaps of action. I thought it would be great fun. I was up for a good old play-fighting and the scripts were terrifically exciting.

As the lead of a movie, you really set the tone off-camera as well, and that's a really big responsibility.

It surprises me how much children like me, you know? If they look at me as an example, I have a big responsibility.
