I was Popeye mad when I was a kid, and I'd eat spinach until the cows came home.

I was a really picky eater as a child. Because I was obsessed by Popeye, my mum and aunts would put my food in a can to represent spinach and we'd hum the Popeye tune and then I'd happily eat it.

It's become normal for me to walk on set as Popeye, Frankenstein or an Elf or even a chicken.

I'd rather do community service than sit and write a load of Christmas cards.

I went to work for the Civil Service. I'd wanted to work for the Ministry of Defence because I had some far-fetched idea that it had something to do with the Avengers, but I ended up in Social Security.
