I'm a dad and that's pretty important.

As a brother and sister our tastes were pretty different growing up. He liked a lot of early hip hop. My dad didn't understand it and would try to talk him out of it.

When my dad toured in '91 I think my first gig properly was the Tokyo Dome 50 000 people indoors. That was pretty scary. I was 12 or 13.

I just went off for two months traveling around Europe on a motorcycle and pretty much turned my phone off. I did 5 000 miles with my dad. We went through Holland Germany Austria Slovenia Croatia Bosnia Montenegro Italy... and then I did Spain and France by myself.

I went to my dad when I was 17 and said 'I want to be a country music star.' Which every dad loves to hear. And he said 'I want you to go to college.' So we had a discussion. And I'm pretty stubborn. I'm a lot like him. And he said 'If you go to college and graduate I'll pay your first six months of rent in Nashville.' So he bribed me.

I haven't really decided to be an actor yet! I started doing plays when I was about 15 or 16. I only did it because my dad saw a bunch of pretty girls in a restaurant and he asked them where they came from and they said drama group. He said 'Son that is where you need to go.'

My dad was rubbish at all other aspects of his financial life but he's pretty good at paying the rent.

My dad's family were pretty working class actually.

My guess is my brother would call his mom and his dad pretty regularly a lot more than I probably did.

I'm just a pretty regular dad.
