You have to list all your special skills on a form when you get an agent. There's fencing, stage combat, horse riding, motorbike riding, Spanish, French, German, whatever. I just ticked everything. I talk about 10 languages according to that form. I even ticked the extreme sports box.

I never have time to cook, so I just look through the books and imagine the dishes I would make if I wasn't going out for a business dinner.
