Acting is my passion and Chelsea FC is my hobby.

I had a weimaraner for 11 years called China, and he was a great dog, a bit mad. They're massive, weimaraners; they've got big floppy ears. They look like a pointer, but they're liver-coloured.

I like people like Robert De Niro and Anthony Hopkins. And Gianfranco Zola, who played for Chelsea and Italy. He's an artist with his feet.

My philosophy is to enjoy yourself. Do the things you want to do, like play golf!

Acting is a tough industry. There are a lot of kids out there at drama schools and not a lot of money about, especially as the arts are being cut.

I grew up near King's Cross station in London, living in an apartment block where my dad was a caretaker.

I used to go into bars on my days off, and I decided that wasn't too good for me.
