He's being tipped for an Oscar nomination for his role in US drama Loving.

And in a candid interview with GQ Australia, Joel Edgerton spoke about focusing on serious acting work instead of big Hollywood projects.

'If I'd done a s***ty movie, maybe I'd have a Maserati,' he said. 'But I'd be sitting across from you, biting my tongue all f**king day long going, "I f**king hate myself for this s**t".'

He added: 'If you’re super good-looking and charismatic and you like playing the same character every time, good luck to you – you’ll make squillions of dollars.

'The interest I have in being an actor, though, is adapting your energy to play all sorts of different characters,' the 42-year-old concluded.

Meanwhile, Joel was left disappointed after missing an Oscar nomination in 2015 and admits he should not have listened to industry rumours.

Self-respect: The 42-year-old actor said he would 'f**king hate himself' for taking on 's**tty' Hollywood films simply for the big payday

But Joel told the magazine he remains optimistic that he will be recognised for his critically-acclaimed lead role in Loving.

Directed by Jeff Nichols, Loving tells the tale of an interracial couple whose marriage sees them exiled from Virginia.

The story is based on the facts surrounding the US Supreme Court's landmark 1967 case Loving v. Virginia.
