But in another world, another life, probably growing up in another country, I might have been more of a dancer.

I always felt love from both my parents.

My mum and I are, in many ways, quite similar. We're both creative, gregarious, and energetic.

Both my parents are English and came out to Australia in 1967. I was born the following year. My parents, and immigrants like them, were known as '£10 poms.' Back then, the Australian government was trying to get educated British people and Canadians - to be honest, educated white people - to come and live in Australia.

When people stop me in the street, and I can see they want to tell me more than they want the selfie, they want to tell me what it means to them, and that means a lot to me.

My kids are not that interested in my movie career, by the way. My son, in particular, never talks about it. He just wants me as his dad.

If I'm a lush at anything, it's food and drink. I'm not materialistic in any way, but I value food.
