I got up to all sorts of things when I was a kid, but I've managed to take the excessive alcohol and fast vehicle combination out of my life now.

A lot of pubs in London are now faceless, expensive yuppy bars. Not like when I was growing up. The pub used to be, and should be, the pillar of community.

I do six or seven films a year in order to sustain my lifestyle.

I do jump behind the bar when we're really busy, but by that point I've usually drunk too much to work.

I'm a grafter, I like working, but like for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, the film company only paid me for the shooting schedule, which was supposed to last six months. But it lasted 11 months and you don't get paid for extra shooting.

Running has been great for keeping me fit throughout my acting career.

I'm quite sexy - if you like gingers.
