Despite the success of the "Kingsman", the actor cannot imagine audiences accepting him as an action hero on an "earnest basis".
"I'm not just a guy who's believable if I showed up in just any action context and started doing roundhouse kicks. It worked because it was implausible, and the humour was pitched right.
