Garrett Hedlund is hungry for acting glory


Hedlund is understandably looking forward to a big meal.
Sitting down exclusively with Confidential yesterday, the Hollywood actor said he currently weighed in at 69kgs.
"We are playing prisoners of war and so we've been on these crazy diets," explained Hedlund, noting his favourite Sydney restaurant as Mr Wong.
"I haven't been this thin since eighth grade. With all the weight loss, I'm just excited to eat. "When I phone home, all I can say is I'm excited for Christmas so I can eat."
Unbroken is the true life story of former Olympic runner Louis Zamperini, who was taken prisoner by Japanese forces during the second world war.
Hedlund, 29, plays prisoner John Fitzgerald in the Jolie directed flick, that has been shooting in Australia the past month.
Production has been based between the Gold Coast and Sydney, where they've filmed at Fox Studios as well as on a construction site in Ultimo and Cockatoo Island.
"It is pretty special to get a water taxi to work," said Hedlund, who wasn't able to attend the annual GQ Australia Man of the Year Awards last month but was belatedly presented his International Man of the Year title at the weekend.
"It is a great way to start the day, having your morning coffee and then you get into the war zone."
Unbroken also stars Domhnall Gleeson, Jai Courtney, Alex Russell, Jack O'Connell and Luke Treadaway.
Hedlund, who dates fellow actor Kirsten Dunst, is one of Hollywood's big up and coming actors. His film credits include On the Road, Tron: Legacy, Troy, Four Brothers and Friday Night Lights.
He also appears in the short film clip for Kings of Leon's track, Beautiful War.
Working with Jolie has been a career highlight for Hedlund.
"Within this project, she is so passionate about it," he said. "She brings that to set every day, no matter how long the hours are she kills it. She approaches every day like she is in the film and she loves to explore how you can personalise this and how you can show the pain or beauty of these men under horrible circumstances."
