In his interview with the magazine, Jai posed for the camera in a wet t-shirt and said he expected that sport (not theatre) would rule his life.

'Being a guy who'd come up around sport and hung out with guys of that nature... I genuinely thought it was all playing against my ability to get into theatre and study this stuff,' he said.

The Suicide Squad star went on to reveal how he overcame self-doubt.

'I found it comforting to look at them and see that you could be a bloke, and it could f****** work for you,' he said.

'So there it is – I'm a bloke. A bloke who loves theatre and I'm also a sensitive guy.'
