Your character didn’t seem to have any dialogue in X-Men: First Class.
He had a few lines – go back and have another look. Matthew Vaughn is my favourite film-maker in the whole world. We’re good buddies, so it’s good to have friends shouting at you on set rather than people you don’t know.

January Jones’s performance was heavily criticised. What did you make of that?
The character she’s playing is exactly what she played. I was deeply flattered to be considered a possibility to be the father of her kid. I watched the first two series of Mad Men twice and I was like a 12-year-old on set. Matthew Vaughn said: ‘Wind your neck in because it’s embarrassing.’ I think she’s fantastic.
