(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Eric Bana doesnt get star-struck when meeting other actors for the first time.

The 42-year-old Australian actor has forged a successful Hollywood career, appearing in movies such as Munich, The Other Boleyn Girl and The Time Traveler's Wife.

Erics job has seen him star alongside a host of A-list celebrities including Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson and Daniel Craig, although he admits hes much more interested in meeting his idols from the realm of sport.

I tend to be more star-struck around sports stars than other actors, he told Total Film.

Eric is a major fan of motorcycle racing, and admits he was overwhelmed when he first saw 45-year-old former Grand Prix motorcycle road racing World Champion Mick Doohan. Eric is normally very confident but seeing Mick in the flesh reduced him to a nervous wreck.

First time I saw Mick Doohan I was too scared to say hello. Hes a motorcycle rider from Australia who won five world championships and is one of my sporting heroes, gushed Eric. (C) Cover Media
