Johnny Whitworth: I Would've Been A Psychotherapist

Check out Johnny Whitworth in this feature from Da Man‘s February/March 2012 issue, on sale now.

Here’s what the 36-year-old actor, who can next be seen in Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, had to share with the mag:

On why he decided to act: “I have wanted to be an actor since I was 6 years old. I’m not sure what made me decide, I just knew. I can tell you when I saw Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop that I wanted to be a movie star. But it was when I watched The Good, the Bad and the Ugly with my dad and saw Eli Wallach in the bath scene (I felt how dirty he was and how good that bath was gonna be) that I knew that I wanted to be an actor.”

On what he’d be doing if he wasn’t in Hollywood: “I would have been a psychotherapist. I’m very interested in why and how we, as human beings, do things.”

On previously working with Christian Bale and Russell Crowe: “Well, I learn something on every set. But, indeed, everyone you listed off here are top notch professionals and excellent craftsmen, and have influenced me with both their work on the set and in their films.”
