British actor Toby Kebbell was pleasantly surprised by director Guy Ritchie's kindhearted personality when they teamed up to shoot new movie Rocknrolla - because he expected the filmmaker to be egotistical and hot-tempered.
Kebbell, who stars alongside Gerard Butler, Thandie Newton and Jeremy Piven in the upcoming action movie, was terrified about working under Ritchie's guidance because of what he'd heard about the star and his wife Madonna in the tabloids.
But he admits Ritchie was nothing like what he expected.
He says, "I'm not a big one for reading up on the lives of others in magazines, but you sometimes form an idea and I have to say when I turned up in London, I really didn't expect to become friends with Guy Ritchie. But I did; he's a really funny, great personality, but no ego. It was never about, 'Just because I say so.'
"He was incredibly open to other ideas as long as they were right for the film. And very even-tempered, you know - he never spoke a bad or a harsh word to anybody. I really like that."

Bond girl Gemma Arterton is reportedly dating her Rocknrolla co-star Toby Kebbell - after the pair fell for each other while filming the movie.
The British actress allegedly fell for the 25-year-old Alexander star's charms while working on the latest gangster movie by Madonna's husband Guy Ritchie.
And the pair don't have to worry about their hectic movie schedules ruining their romance - they are set to appear opposite each other in forthcoming blockbuster Prince Of Persia, scheduled to be shot later this year in Egypt.
A source tells Britain's Mail On Sunday, "Romance is on the cards. They hit it off when they were making RocknRolla and fell for each other on set."
