The 33 year old Aussie actor stars alongside J.Lo in The Back-Up Plan, out this month

What was it like working with Jennifer Lopez?

Alex: She’s a great, fun person. Not only was she not a diva, she kept me on my game. She would be punctual, prepared, professional and very active in bringing things to the table when we were shooting.

When you first moved to the States, you struggled to find work. Were you ever tempted to pack up and come home?

Alex: I first moved here when I was 21 and five years ago I moved over [permanently] with money I’d saved.

I did hundreds of auditions and was living in a mate’s office, but something in me was saying, “Whatever you do, don’t [go] home.” And I didn’t. And then I got a job.

What have you learnt about relationships by being in this movie?

Alex: I learnt that older women – by that I mean women out of their twenties – are clearer about what they actually want.

What else did I learn? Be careful about falling in love with someone up the duff!

(Up the duff – Euphemism for pregnant. Used most commonly, although not exclusively, to describe unplanned pregnancy.)
