Q: You always seem very masculine in roles [like in Lawless] …

TH: A lot of people say that but I don’t feel it. I went to an insight course at the parachute regiment. I thought, “I want to join up, do three years, go to Iraq, do my bit, get physically fit.” So I went to White City barracks and I realized I had a real phobia about groups of men. I feel much more comfortable around women.
