'I was into sports before acting sucked me in. I'm a very outdoor person. And I want that image to come across in my role.

For 'Goal', Andy Ansah, one of the best football choreographers in the world, trained John.
'All the international Adidas ads have been choreographed by Andy. He was a prize catch for 'Goal'. I was working with people like Arshad Warsi, Boman Irani and Bipasha Basu whom I love... So it was fun.'
After chain-smoking for Anurag Kashyap's 'No Smoking', John had to quit it for 'Goal'. 'I can't say it took effort. I've gone from a smoker to a non-smoker in no time.'
