Fresh ink: The 37-year-old actor has the words Animal Kingdom in Thai script tattooed on the inside of his forearm, in honour of the film that gave him his big break
'I just love Thailand. I was covered in animal tattoos for the film and when I was thinking of getting a real one, I wanted an Asian one but a snake or a dragon just seemed too cliché.'
Not only was the film an important stepping stone for fellow Australian actors Joel Edgerton, James Frenchville and director David Michod, but it also helped Stapleton land his first big Hollywood blockbuster.
Earlier this year he filled Gerard Butler's shoes and starred in 300: Rise Of An Empire which went on to gross over $330million at the international box-office.
But he has also had his set backs, suffering a serious head injury in February just before the film's release.
And it also seems Stapleton is fighting fit once more, with the former Neighbours star looking relaxed and healthy as he enjoyed an Italian vacation with a small group of friends.
He was soaking up the sun on the beach near Hotel Regina in popular tourist destination Ischia.
In a pair of plain black board shorts he appeared to enjoy going for a relaxing dip, frolicking in the water by himself before joining his entourage on the beach.
For fans of the action star, the images will come as a welcome relief as the actor has been taking it easy after he fell off a Tuk Tuk in Thailand, suffering a serious head and back injury.
He had been in the country filming his television series Strike Back when the accident occurred, making unable to promote the 300 sequel.
Busy guy: Despite taking some time off, he has two films - Cut Snake and Kill Me Three Times - set for release before the end of the year
Stapleton had to give up red carpet duties and appearance on Jimmy Fallon to concentrate on his recovery, while the TV show's production was pushed back several months.
But with a cleared schedule and months of rehabilitation, the often shirtless thespian seems to be on the road to recovery.
Just in time too, as he has two new films set for release before the end of the year including Australian thriller Cut Snake and Kill Me Three Times with Teresa Palmer and Simon Pegg.
