I’ve turned down stuff. I’ve said, ‘They know my character’s going to die because I’m in it!’

I just had to cut that out and start surviving, otherwise it was all a bit predictable.

I did do one job and they said, ‘We’re going to kill you’, and I was like, ‘Oh no!’ and then they said, ‘Well, can we injure you badly?’ and I was like, ‘OK, so long as I stay alive this time’.

I’ve played a lot of baddies, they were great but they weren’t very fulfilling — and I always died.
