sofa?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All the furniture is pointed at the television. I have an open-plan kitchen and living room area. It\u2019s circular, my kids are happy because they can run around \u2013 and I can see them watching television while I\u2019m cooking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What have you enjoyed watching on TV recently?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t watch that much television, which is a pretty bad thing to say as an actor. Mostly, I watch children\u2019s TV and that usually means the same movie 7,000 times. I\u2019ve seen Encanto and Toy Story countless times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Toy Story is a classic\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the wonderful thing about having kids \u2013 I\u2019m watching these movies [from my childhood] again! I try to do anything to make it exciting for myself. This is my life now!<\/p> <p><strong>When did you decide you wanted to be an actor?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My mum would say she always knew I would end up as an actor. She used to watch me playing football on a Sunday and I was very dramatic when I got injured or when I scored a goal\u2026 Then I figured maybe football and sports weren\u2019t for me. I always enjoyed any class at school that meant I didn\u2019t have to read or write much \u2013 which meant drama was the other option.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You swapped Norfolk for drama school in London \u2014 what was that like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t grow up with money \u2013 as a family we never travelled. I\u2019d always wanted to move to London. I knew there was more to life than Norwich! I love visiting \u2013 it\u2019s beautiful, clean, safe \u2013 but it was too quiet for me. I was petrified going to drama school, though.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t have any money. I became an honorary caretaker; my teachers would hire me to do little jobs \u2013 gardening, buffing floors, painting walls, whatever I could to keep myself going.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You quickly landed a role in Hollywood blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll never forget the audition. I called my mum afterwards saying, \u201cI just auditioned for one of those pirate movies. I\u2019m never going to get it!\u201d Then, when I was sent out to Hawaii \u2013 it was insane! During the read-through, I had Johnny Depp to my right and Pen\u00e9lope Cruz to my left. It was a pinch-me moment \u2013 every five seconds.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/peaky-finale-5-cropped-fcb9949.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=299%2C199,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/peaky-finale-5-cropped-fcb9949.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=299%2C199,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/peaky-finale-5-cropped-fcb9949.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=354%2C236&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/peaky-finale-5-cropped-fcb9949.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=354%2C236&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/peaky-finale-5-cropped-fcb9949.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=404%2C269&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/peaky-finale-5-cropped-fcb9949.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=404%2C269&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/peaky-finale-5-cropped-fcb9949.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C369&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/peaky-finale-5-cropped-fcb9949.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C369&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/peaky-finale-5-cropped-fcb9949.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/peaky-finale-5-cropped-fcb9949.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/peaky-finale-5-cropped-fcb9949.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=407%2C271&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/peaky-finale-5-cropped-fcb9949.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=407%2C271&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/peaky-finale-5-cropped-fcb9949.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=555%2C370&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/peaky-finale-5-cropped-fcb9949.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=555%2C370&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><img class=\"&quot;wp-image-1616161\" align=\"\" size-landscape_thumbnail=\"\" image-handler__image=\"\" image-handler__image--aspect=\"\" no-wrap=\"\" js-lazyload=\"\" data-src=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/peaky-finale-5-cropped-fcb9949.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413&quot;\" width=\"&quot;620&quot;\" height=\"&quot;413&quot;\" alt=\"&quot;&quot;\" title=\"&quot;&quot;\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div><div class=\"&quot;caption-hold&quot;\"><figcaption class=\"&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;\"><span class=\"&quot;caption-copy&quot;\"><i class=\"&quot;icon-arrow\" icon-camera-circle=\"\"\/> Sam Claflin as Sir Oswald Mosley in Peaky Blinders.<\/span><\/figcaption><span class=\"&quot;im-image-caption&quot;\"> <i>BBC<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<p><strong>You\u2019ve since starred in Peaky Blinders and a couple of hit films \u2014 can you relax now and feel you\u2019ve \u201cmade it\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m just really happy to be doing what I love and to be paid for it.

But for this series, I wasn\u2019t only having to watch myself, I was also listening to myself [sing] for the first time. Anyone who\u2019s listened to their own voicemail will know what it\u2019s like hearing your own voice! When I went to the audition they started playing Come Together by the Beatles and asked if I knew it, and I said, \u201cYes! It\u2019s Michael Jackson!\u201d That\u2019s how far I needed to come on this journey\u2026 my musical education was lacklustre.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your character Billy struggles to handle fame \u2014 did you connect with that?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are huge similarities between myself and Billy \u2013 the struggles of life, the fear of being a dad, the fear of not being accepted, abandonment issues. I\u2019ve got that in spades. It felt therapeutic for me. I think with lockdown everyone went on their individual journey. I went through a very, very low moment in life and coming out of that and being able to channel that into a character \u2013 I thought this is something.
