The Australian actor claims he is not like his fellow countrymen, who are renowned for a love of the alcoholic beverage, because he does not like the taste of it.

The Australian actor claims he is not like his fellow countrymen, who are renowned for a love of the alcoholic beverage, because he does not like the taste of it.
He said: "I`m not at all like your typical Aussie bloke. I must be the only Aussie who doesn`t drink beer. I just don`t like the taste."
However, he admits he does have other manly traits - including a love of carpentry.
He said: "I quite like carpentry. There`s nothing I`m particularly good at building. I`m just dependable at fixing what needs to be looked at in the house."
Guy is starring in new movie `Lockout` where he must save the US president`s daughter from a jail overrun by violent inmates in space, and the 44-year-old hunk admits he had to transform his body before he took part.
In an interview with Stylist magazine, he said: "There was a bit of bulking up to do before shooting, but I was fit enough. I eat healthily anyway so it was a matter of eating more. I play an army marine sort of chap, so I thought it was important that I look like one, and they can be big. It was about getting into weight training."
