Eric Bana is an Elle Man

Hunk du Jour Eric Bana is featured as in the April 2007 issue of Elle Magazine as this month’s “Elle Man.” The heartthrob from down under speaks out:

• On his trademark gaze: “I have a problem where when I think I’m looking friendly, I look like I want to kill someone.”
• On his acting technique: “If my character has to feel something, I pretty much want to feel it. I want to feel like I’m killing someone. I want to feel the guilt someone feels after he’s stabbed someone or shot someone. I want to feel the fear of pointing a gun at someone. Because it’s just bloody interesting. Otherwise it just feels fake.”
• On being an introvert: “I’d rather talk about anyone at a party but me, unless I’m with close friends and I’ve had a drink. You get sick of yourself. Anyone can jump onstage and do something; I want to watch.”
• On ‘Banatics,’ his female fans: “I don’t know what ages they are; it’s probably better if I didn’t.”
• On taking risks: “Risk-taking to me is not risk-taking. What scares me most is sitting around not doing anything, not taking chances.”

His romantic comedy Lucky You co-starring Drew Barrymore opens nationwide May 4. Read the full Eric Bana article from Elle Magazine April 2007 below!
