I've spent as much as 30 grand on a watch but it's not about flaunting my wealth. I don't have many extravagances but watches are my biggest one. I must have 30 of them now. I've been collecting since the age of nine, when I won a black TAG in a karting event. ↗

Being an actor is mostly about rejection and being out of work. It was a fast lesson in all of that stuff. ↗
