Regarding his acting career, the 74-year-old actor tells News that he has extremely certain fashion requirements.
People used to comment, ‘There’s a notable lack of classical work on your CV,’ which is kind of weird. And I would quip, in jest but also somewhat seriously, that “the reason is, I can’t operate in those kinds of trousers.”
Put me in a nice lounge suit if you want me to look my best. An actor says something foolish, yet art does represent life.
He also added that he isn’t afraid to incorporate a lot of his own life into his movies, saying, “If it’s an independent, contemporary film and they don’t have a lot of money, I just say, ‘Come to my flat,’ and I open the wardrobe and they can take out whatever they want for that movie.” Thus, the two elements do mix.
He is now playing a retired football talent scout, coaching England’s side in the Homeless World Cup in the underdog sports drama The Beautiful Game.
