If you had of told me age 10 that in 19 years time I would be on a stage in Salford performing with Les Dennis in a sitcom I had written, I would have believed you.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If I'd had the choice when I was 14, and someone had said to me, 'You can either be a footballer or an actor,' I'd have said: 'Well, can't I be a footballing actor?'
I'd done some acting stuff when I was younger, around age nine.
I think I was about seven when people started telling my parents I would be an actor or a performer of some kind.
When I was ten, I wrote an essay on what I would be when I grew up and said I would be a professional soccer player and a comedian in off season.
I was very young when I became an actor: I was 19 years old.
How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?
I was a stand-up comedian for 10 years, if you can believe it. And I gave it up at age 22.
If I'd known how old I was going to be I'd have taken better care of myself.
If they would have told me when I was just 18 that I was going to have a career that would last so long, I'd have said it was impossible, that it was crazy that that could happen in my life, so I'm happy to be here. To be able to go out on stage every day.
I knew I would be an actor since I was seven or eight.
