Ashwell, Josh Betteridge and David Hastie all met studying Sports Rehabilitation in Bristol. When they graduated in 2011 and 2012, Betteridge and Hastie moved to Melbourne work as sports rehabilitatiors. Ashwell, meanwhile was introduced by his childhood friend, the actor Nicholas Hoult, to a trainer he met on X Men: First Class, and began working for him in June 2012. “I became the guy that they’d send all the young actors with injuries to, who couldn’t afford the expensive trainers,” he says. Those young actors are, he says, “the big guys today.”
