Romeo Must Die came at the right time. It was the right vehicle for me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Romeo Must Die was the first film that I did where I was able to just be free as an actor.
I played Romeo when I was younger, and I think I did a couple kind Romeo-like parts after that, and I kind of went, 'I mustn't do this again. I must always choose something that I don't know if I'm a good enough actor to play.'
I look in the mirror and say to myself, Can it be you once played Romeo?
I stopped acting Romeo and just became Romeo.
I started off as an actor thinking that I would be this Romeo, this dashing leading man. It turns out that I'm a character actor.
In the Victorian age, actors played Romeo until they were 60 or 70 years old.
Romeo is the most misunderstood character in literature, I think. He's hardcore to play because he's displaying the characteristics of Hamlet at the beginning, and, well, then everything else happens.
People often argue about this. Obviously one of the skills in performance is acting, and you can't expect every Romeo to really be in love with their Juliet!
I never thought I'd be right to play a Juliet-like character.
'Romeo & Juliet' is still relevant and real.
