"Mark Strong has revealed that he sometimes loses his temper and has to be told to cool off. The Robin Hood star, who has admitted that he prefers playing villains, said that he can become overly aggressive while playing football and on one occasion had to be asked by his team to &amp;quot;calm down&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I have a temper, which I control. I can get aggressive if necessary. But obviously I don&amp;#039;t go around in my daily life threatening my kids,&amp;quot; Strong told The Observer, referring to a scene in Kick Ass in which he beats up an 11-year-old girl. Hailed as England&amp;#039;s best living actor by Sir Ian McKellen, Strong plays Sir Godfrey in Ridley Scott&amp;#039;s Robin Hood. Speaking about the film, the actor said that he believes real knights would have been barely able to move in their chainmail.  &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know if you&amp;#039;ve ever tried it on, but it&amp;#039;s heavy,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;All these portrayals we see of knights fighting must be absolute rubbish because knights in armour could literally have only had two or three blows and then they&amp;#039;d have had to sit down to have a cup of tea.&amp;quot; Born to an Italian father and an Austrian mother, Strong added that feeling like an outsider growing up in London has helped his career. &amp;quot;My mother moved abroad when I was 11, my dad wasn&amp;#039;t around from the time that I was a baby, so I was not the product of a family, but a product of observation - of watching what went on around me, of watching who I liked, what I didn&amp;#039;t like, what I thought was good behaviour and what I thought was bad behaviour and tailoring myself accordingly,&amp;quot; he said. Robin Hood debuts at the Cannes Film Festival on May 12. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
