The 34-year-old actor – who has been romantically linked with his ‘I Saw the Light’ co-star Elizabeth Olsen – feels comfortable around “independent and capable” females, and is also attracted to “decent and kind” girls, just like his dear mom Diana Patricia.
Asked what he looks for in a woman, he said: “I like strong women. My mothers and sisters are very strong women, immensely independent and very capable and that’s what I feel comfortable with.
“My mother places a huge importance on decency and kindness and always has – and the older I get the more I realize how rare that is.”
The ‘Crimson Peak’ star enjoys living in London because his profession seems “exotic”.
He explained to HELLO! magazine: “I live in north west London near quite a lot of actors, like Damian Lewis and his wife Helen McCrory, who is a good friend, and occasionally I see Helena Bonham Carter – they’re all charming, lovely people.
“London has always been my home, it’s where I was born, it’s where my friends are and my family.
“I also like it because it’s still a little bit exotic to be an actor in London, whereas being an actor in Los Angeles is the norm.”
