With 'Divergent' and 'Insurgent,' there isn't great emphasis on uniformity; it's a vigilante military, the state is in disarray, and there is no reference point for authenticity, so it's just weapons work and circumstantial fighting. Jai Courtney authenticitycircumstantialdisarray share on social
For 'The Terminator,' I was asked to drop a bit of weight to get less physically imposing because it wasn't about an athletic build; the build they were looking for was something more unassuming or boyish. And it was tough! Jai Courtney askathleticbite share on social
I was too young to be an avid enthusiast for the franchise, but like billions of people I remember as a child sitting around with the family on a Friday night with pizza and popcorn and a 'Die Hard' movie on. Jai Courtney avidbillionchild share on social
When you're working with people you've seen in hundreds of films... it's a bit crazy to step outside yourself for a minute and think, 'This is surreal.' But I try not to get too bogged down in that. Jai Courtney bitebogcrazy Change image and share on social

Would I want Johnny Depp's career? Sure! But do I want all the trappings and all the stuff that comes with that? I don't know. It's a pretty serious trade off. Can you prevent it? Probably not. Jai Courtney careerdeppjohnny Change image and share on social
After 'A Good Day to Die Hard,' I had a bit of an identity crisis as far as where I wanted to place myself in the business. When it's all new and fresh, there is a lot of pressure to know what you represent, and I didn't really get that. Jai Courtney bitebusinesscrisis share on social
I've always played sport. I played rugby, I was involved in athletics, I played cricket... I'm an outdoors kind of guy. Jai Courtney athleticcricketguy Change image and share on social
