The World Motivation
My father was a sheep shearer, so I grew up in a caravan; we'd go around from shearing shed to shearing shed. My mother always wanted us to be educated, so I went to a school.

I was particularly happy to do a potential franchise where I was not putting on a mask or a pair of tights.
At the end of the day, I'm an actor. I'm not here to sell other stuff or use off-screen things to generate whether or not I work. If I'm any good, I'll work; if I'm not, I won't.
In terms of publicity and interviews, well, it's really hard in this modern world to keep a sense of mystery.
I'm an actor doing a job, but I'm also living a life.
Most of my memories are the sound of rain on caravan roofs.
My own passion for caravan holidays has been occasionally commented on by the media. It is certainly something that I am proud of.
I remember typing up my dissertation sitting in a horse box - I didn't qualify for a caravan - on a set in Pinewood on my first film, 'Still Crazy.'
I have a little gypsy palace here in New York. It's all mirrors, and I have my own garden. It's so secluded - the closest thing to a caravan I could find!
Growing up, we visited Devon and Cornwall where I learnt to surf and had my first horse riding lesson. We stayed in caravan parks and I have fond memories of Paignton and Newquay.
