Australians are taking over Hollywood, and Rhys Wakefield gets it. The 22-year-old Aussie newcomer stars in this weekend’s big release, ‘Sanctum,’ a James Cameron-executive produced underwater thriller. Yet in spite of the stardom that can befall an unknown Australian actor in a James Cameron 3-D project, Wakefield’s not ready to annoint himself the next Sam Worthington.

“Heh. I don’t know,” he tells PopEater. “It’s kind of hard to tell what will happen. Who knows? I really just feel like a kid from the suburbs of Sydney, Australia, and somehow I ended up here in LA. I’m looking at the Hollywood sign right now, actually — I’m at the Four Seasons -– and it’s such a weird thing. So I don’t know what to say to that. Whatever. We’ll see what happens.”

Read our full interview, touching on all the bases — Mel Gibson, Heath Ledger, James Cameron — after the jump.

Rhys comes across like a young man with a good head on his shoulders. Can we set up a defensive perimeter around him as part of a Charlie Sheen prevention system? It’s bad enough he’s been in close proximity to fellow Aussie Mel Gibson of late, at a Hollywood house party.

“I didn’t meet him,” Rhys clarifies. “I just saw him at the party. But it’s an interesting thing. I saw Sylvester Stallone the other night out somewhere. He was getting paparazzi’d everywhere, and security guards were all over the place, and he was swatting cameras away, and they were holding back fans and people who all wanted to have a piece of him. It’s weird. But I think it’s just keeping that balance between your private self and your public self.”
