We were lucky enough throughout the whole of the filming to have a personal trainer who went to the gym with us. We learnt how to kayak, learnt how to sword fight and a little bit of archery, all that stuff, horse riding and things.
That's what us guys tend to really enjoy doing. Nothing too dangerous although there were some broken bones along the way.
BB: Especially with the horses. When you're doing scenes with horses no matter how well they're trained there's always a chance they'll kick you. Never get kicked by a horse though!
DM: You got kicked didn't you?
BB: Yeah, and it was very, very painful. I got kicked in the bum.
What was it like filming in New Zealand all together. Was it like living in Big Brother? But 50 times worse?
DM: We actually watched Big Brother in New Zealand while we were in New Zealand.
BB: We did! Someone sent it over on tape and we'd never seen anything like it so we sat and watched one episode and 24 hours later we were still watching it!
DM: We did all live in each other's pockets quite a lot but we had to work quite closely so it was nice to see each other off set.
It was interesting that we worked for 12 hours a day, sometimes seven days a week yet we chose to spend our evenings hanging out together, but then we went on holiday together. So we're all just really, really good mates.
There's a rumour that Orlando Bloom is the most popular sexy lead character. What do you think?
