I deliberately fly in and out of LA for as small a time as humanly possible.
I race historic muscle cars back in Australia, and that's my hobby. And I try to race home as soon as I've finished aa movie but don't tell anyone.
I wanted to be a racing driver but, you know - this'll do.
I've given no thought to moving to America at all.
Shooting Hulk was very small scale for me because I wasn't involved in the CGI stuff.
Eric, along with his co-driver, Tony Ramunno, crashed his 1974 Ford XB Coupe into a bank while competing in the Targa Tasmania rally on April 19, 2007.
Eric has less than eight cars. He won't reveal the exact number because he doesn't want his wife to know.
Eric wears two rings on his hand: the first is his gold wedding ring, and the second is the first thing his wife bought him when they were dating - a silver ring with coraggio (which means courage in Italian) engraved in it.
While on the Australian comedy series, "Full Frontal," Eric performed impersonations of people including Ray Martin, Tom Cruise, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Stan Grant and Mike Willesee.
Eric's favorite sports team is the St. Kilda football team.
Eric married Rebecca Gleeson in 1997.
Eric's father-in-law is High Court Chief Justice Murray Gleeson.
Eric was chosen as one of People Magazine's annual 100 Most Beautiful People in May 2007.
Eric Bana is one of the few Australian actors to make it big in Hollywood that still lives in Australia. He lives in his home town of Melbourne when he is not on location.
In 1996, Eric was named ‘Bachelor of the Year‘ by Cleo Magazine.
In 1997, Eric received a Logie Award for "Most Popular Comedian" for his work on The Eric Bana Show.
A picture of his wife and child was used in Black Hawk Down (2001) for the scene where helicopter pilot Mike Durant is captured by Somalis. The prop department had forgotten to grab a picture of a wife and child for the shot, so they asked Bana's wife, who was traveling with him, if they could use a picture of her and their child for the shot and she agreed.
He graduated from the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) in Sydney.
Eric Bana is 6'3" tall (1.91cm).
