Suicide Squad's Jai Courtney Oozes Scruffy Sex Appeal on 'Manhattan' December 2014 Cover (Exclusive)

Jai Courtney rocks some scruff on the cover of Manhattan magazine’s December 2014 issue, exclusively given to JustJared.com!

Here’s what the 28-year-old Australian actor had to share with the mag:

On his epiphany during his first job cleaning camping equipment that he wanted to pursue acting: “What it did was show me that under no circumstance was I capable of pursuing a career in anything that I didn’t have a passion for…It became apparent to me that I needed to pursue something big.”

On his whirlwind auditioning period after his breakthrough role on the Starz original series Sparticus: “I saved pretty much every dollar I made on Spartacus and poured it into tickets to come back and forth. I think I made seven trips in that 18 months… once back in pilot season, I had four auditions in one day. I had to do an American, English, Russian and Scottish accent. It was ridiculous.”

On his upcoming part in “Unbroken,” about Olympian and American Hero Louis Zamperini, in theaters December 25: “It was a no-brainer. Angelina Jolie’s making a movie. The script’s amazing. Roger Deakin’s going to shoot it. You know it’s going to be wonderful, and you can tell that before you even turn a page.”

It was just announced that Jai will be starring in the upcoming movie Suicide Squad alongside a star-studded cast!
