Matthew Fox found it "incredibly difficult" to film fight scenes for 'Speed Racer' because it was so hot.The actor - who plays the mysterious Racer X in the live-action adaptation of the classic animation - says wearing heavy leather outfits while filming in Germany in the height of the summer took its toll.He said: "It was incredibly hot, and doing the fight sequences in the suit was incredibly difficult and I was very dehydrated, and all those logistics, but I'm talking like on a creative level there's a lot of ways that can go terribly wrong." Despite the difficult conditions, the 'Lost' actor insisted he trusted the crew he worked with.He added: "I had complete faith in the team. I really had a really strong idea of what I wanted to try to do within that leather suit that would be really cool, trying to create this mysterious thing with a voice that was sort of anime that went along with it."
