Do you think any of your children will get into acting?
“I don’t know. I think the youngest one is more so. I think the eldest one will probably be a genius craftsmen or something. He’s so focused and the youngest one is a bit of a lovely show-off. He’s a bit too young to take but to a five-year-old you can go ‘shhh, when they say quiet please’ whereas with a two-year-old they just say ‘No!”.
Would you work with your wife Billie again?
“Yes, I would. If there was an amazing job that required it. But we don’t walk around trying to work with each other.”
And are you the same with your wife… do you not speak about work much?
“Not really, occasionally. It’s work. Some people go home and talk about work all the time but others go home and put the TV on and have a bit of dinner and chill out. We’re a bit more like that.”
You’ve said some really interesting things in your previous interviews. WOP – we love this phrase?
“Yes, Women of Power. I’ve got WOP-adile tears too. That’s when women of power cry and they’re not really upset.”
How do you balance family life with a busy career? Are there any rules like ‘no phones’ at the dinner table?
“No, but it’s not easy, it works somehow. We do what we can do. We’re still married, it’s just not easy. That’s the sign that it hasn’t gone completely tits up. It’s f**king hard work and that’s the answer to that question.”
