In "Clash of the Titans", Luke Evans wears gold body armor. But we got the British actor to shed his protective layer and reveal way more. Here, he spills eight guy secrets.

1. They Get Self-Conscious
"I'm just about to start filming a movie where I'm topless most of the film and I can tell you that yeah, we get self-conscious about our bodies! Most men have an insecurity of some sort. But we're brought up to believe that we can't show them."

2. They Think About Old Girlfriends
"You never get over an ex, but you learn to live with it. A friend told me that recently and I think it's a great phrase."

3. They Don't All Cheat ... But If They Do, There's a Reason
"Most guys have self-control and they could stop themselves. [So if it happens, it means] he might have lost sight of the reasons he fell in love with the person he's with."

4. They Like to Be Romantic
"Just the other week, I sang to a very close female friend. She almost cried. And I love to cook! I've impressed hundreds of women with my cooking. And they always come back for more."

5. They Have Platonic Girl Pals ... Sort Of
"Absolutely we can have female friends and not want to sleep with them. You dream about having sex with them, but you don't actually have sex with them."

6. They're Not Necessarily Capable of No-Strings-Attached Sex
"People would like to say a friend with benefits works, but in the long run it doesn't. We'd all love to have someone we can just hook up with a booty call but when you sleep with somebody, there's more to it. There are emotions."

7. They're Baffled by How Women Can Become Insta-Friends
"I'm always impressed how they can get on and talk about anything. You put them in a room together and they just talk. With men, it's harder to get into a conversation. We have to suss each other out first."

8. They Do Think About the Future
"In 10 years, I'd love to live near the sea, in a warmer climate. I could see myself with three dogs ... and it'd be great to share them with someone else."
