Acting is my passion and Chelsea FC is my hobby.
When I was a kid doing television, they'd stick a leather jacket on me, and I would be the thug.
My heart's in stage. Making Quadrophenia was exciting because we were riding around on scooters with no crash helmets. But "hurry up and wait" is the anthem of films. Everybody wants you ready, and then you sit doing nothing.
