FIVE THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT ME...

1

Although I’ve never said anything negative about my ex-wife Madonna, I do find some of the things I’m supposed to have said very funny. For instance, a question on a game show I once watched alleged that I’d described her as ‘sinewy and chewy’ as a result of doing too much exercise!

One of my favourite jobs was shooting The Man From U.N.C.L.E in Naples. In the morning we’d swim in the sea and watch people catch octopus. Everyone told us it was one of the scariest cities in the world and we’d be robbed, but we had a fantastic time.

As I get older I’m becoming more and more interested in women’s clothes – not for myself but for my missus Jacqui. I can spend a lot of time with her comparing swatches! It’s all part of the creative process, after all.

I’m not into exercise and can’t think of anything more boring than running on a treadmill. A few years ago, however, I discovered martial arts, which I enjoy because it piques my interest – so it keeps me fit without me even realising I’m exercising.

Once on holiday in the Maldives with Jacqui I lost my wedding ring. It had got stuck to a shirt and disappeared into a bag of laundry at the hotel, but miraculously, when the laundry came back, they returned the ring too. I still haven’t told the wife!
