In almost any profession, even if you're the kid of an actor, people are very supportive and want to see the next generation.

My dad was my hero, my best friend.

I can't even begin to describe how I miss him. He always supported me in everything I did. He was a very wise man and I realised at an early age I could learn a lot from him. He always gave me the right answer. But above all he was a very easy-going guy and all he wanted was to be my best friend. I'm an only child and so he shared everything with me. Of course he was very young to die and I was very young to lose a father. But there was nothing left unsaid between us.

'Keep your head down at school.' Those are sage words from my dad. They kept me in check for years.

In almost any profession, even if you're the kid of an actor, people are very supportive and want to see the next generation.

One interviewer asked me: 'How do you feel that you've betrayed your father?' That wasn't really very cool.

I think I learned a lot about not buying into a lot of hype. I wanted to be a kind of faceless entity; I didn't want to be Dhani Harrison and the Muppets or something like that.
