“Once I started to grow up, I realised that my parents are normal people and they can make mistakes.”
“It annoys me when people can't differentiate between the character and the actor, which is a little bit silly.”
“I wasn't expelled for anything vicious, just being cheeky, not doing what I was told, answering back, and always rising to the bait if someone said something annoying about my dad.”
“I have no complaints about my childhood.”
“Although I have fantastic connections, I didn't know as a child what feeling secure meant.”
“Maybe I've got a bully's face, but I like playing baddies.”
“I loved playing sport at school in front of a crowd; I love being on stage in front of a big audience. I buzz off that.”
“I definitely feel like I had a different upbringing to a lot of other people, but not in a bad - or good - way.”
“Acting has never been a thing that me and my dad have talked about. It's like footballers: when they get together, I bet the last thing they talk about is football.”
“I'm definitely not a bad guy in real life.”
“It's not about the money; it's about the content.”
“I think that's how any actor would make their performance convincing: by bringing an element of themselves into the character.”
“I like to get home, flop on the couch, and watch Sky Sports News. I'm just your average bloke.”
“I'm really bad at keeping secrets.”
“A lot of people have the misconception that I decided to become an actor when Lily became famous and have accused me of jumping on her bandwagon. But that's completely untrue.”
“It's great when you see things on a massive scale and you see these huge sets, but it's not the be-all and end-all - it can be about characters as well.”
“I've always wanted to get into theatre.”
“I've always known my dad is a one-off and his own person. But I feel that underneath he has always loved me.”
“My mum wouldn't do a film for money. She does it as a passion. That's why she's involved in things that are so brilliant. She really cares about what she does.”
“There wasn't a lot of discipline in my life, and I hated it being imposed on me at school.”
