The actor insists he can’t understand actors who take characters home after a long day of shooting, because such an ‘Othello Syndrome’ would drive him mad.

“Actors sometimes have what is called the Othello Syndrome, which is where they get so caught up in their roles that they take the character offstage or home with them. I never do that because I don’t confuse movies with reality,” he said.

The actor said his habit was especially useful when he was shooting for the film, Se7en.
