Xavier Samuel Talks the "Strange Charisma" (and Bare Butts) of "A Few Less Men"

Every actor has a process, but how does one prepare for a scene in which one will have a bare butt-cheek pressed against one's face?

Xavier Samuel, the Aussie star behind The Loved Ones and Spin-Out, met this very dilemma on the set of A Few Less Men, the sequel to his 2011 hit A Few Best Men.

"It's not something you can really prepare yourself for," he told Student Edge.

Picking up immediately after the events of the first film, the sequel sees Xavier Samuel's recently-wedded David and his two groomsmen Tom (Kris Marshall) and Graham (Kevin Bishop) attempting to transport the body of their deceased buddy from Australia back to London. Obviously, hijinks ensue.

We caught up with Xavier and asked him if a third instalment of the series might be on the cards, as well as why some Aussie films seem to hit it big (like A Few Best Men) and others fade without a trace.

A Few Less Men arrives in cinemas March 9, 2017.
