Hulk actor Norton learning to surf
4:27pm Wednesday 23rd July 2008
Incredible Hulk actor Edward Norton has been learning how to hang ten.
The quiet US actor couldn't be a "cooler guy" according to the director of Bustin' Down The Door, a small surf documentary which Edward narrates.
Speaking at the film's Hollywood premiere, Jeremy Gosch said: "Originally we basically had a 20 minute short film and we were taking it around and showing to people.
"He ended up seeing it and we met him and he just really loved the idea of the project."
The documentary looks back at a group of young surfers from Australia and South Africa in the 70s, who travelled to Hawaii to help turn surfing into a sport and the billion dollar industry that it is today.
According to the director, Oscar nominated Ed can't get enough of the ocean.
"Right now he's really stoked on surfing," he said. "We weren't even thinking of him as a narrator just because I didn't know he surfed.
"Then we got a call the day after we met him and he was like 'hey, I'd love to do your narration' and we were like 'that's great!'"
And there were no great showbiz demands when it came to recording with the A-list actor. "We went up to Toronto where he was filming the Incredible Hulk and he couldn't have been a cooler guy, or done a more professional job for us," said the filmmaker.
