When Christian was young he was taught how to tightrope walk by a Polish trapeze artist at the Circus where his mother Jenny worked as a performer. Christian auditioned for the role of Jack Dawson in 'Titanic', but was turned down because James Cameron didn't want two British people playing the lead roles of two Americans. Some of the music Christian listens to includes Manic Street Preachers, Tom Waits, and R.E.M. Christian got his teeth capped for the role of Patrick Bateman in 'American Psycho'. Christian's dog Mojo was originally supposed to have a role in 'Newsies' as the Jacobs' dog, but was eventually cut out of the movie. Christian had auditioned for the part of Mercutio in 'William Shakespeares Romeo + Juliet' with Claire Danes ('Little Women') and Leonardo DiCaprio, (who was almost going to play the role of Patrick Bateman in 'American Psycho', and was rumoured to almost play Christian's role in 'Equilibrium') but didn't get the part. Christian hates to go shopping.
