Elaine and I got married in summer 1979, we went on our honeymoon and came back for the premiere of 'Scum.' All of sudden my face was on billboards in Leicester Square and people were crowding outside the cinema, going mad about the film. It was a complete shock.

But then when you go through the process of making the film and you sit in the cinema two years later and your jaw hits the floor, it’s quite sad in a way because you’re looking at yourself – facially anyway – and see the way you looked when you were 20.

I’m away so much I’ve had to learn to cook, and I find it relaxing after filming. I make stews and liver and bacon, and an Italian mate taught me how to make a mean puttanesca sauce.

I think the difference is that Angelina didn’t need any CGI enhancement and I did! You can’t really think about some things too much, you just get on with it and do it. It’s about the way you move and the way you sound.

For me, ‘The Crystal Skull’ was something I’d never done before, and I loved every minute of it. Working with Harrison Ford as well – he’s a cowboy from Montana, the most unassuming man you’ll ever work with, fabulous guy, and I loved it.

As a man, there’s a part of me that feels I should still be going out and doing a proper day’s work.

I love to be the lead, but you can’t always be the lead.

I’m lucky enough to have a kid with me who is actually really intellectually up with what’s going on in the world and actually puts his money where his mouth is and goes and does something about it; he goes and talks about it. It livens you up a bit and it brings you into the 21st Century.

You do a job like mine because you love the job, not because it’s going to make you famous.

Playing with guns you revert to a little boy sometimes. But they’re not great things to play with, so it’s just making them look real. When it comes to shooting guns or using any prop, you’ve got to make it look like you know what you’re doing with them. It’s called acting.
