What gets you up? Three rabidly hungry dogs demanding to be fed – it’s the same every morning here in Los Angeles. Normally we’d head to church, although now we’re attending virtually. It remains a surreal way to take part in such a communal activity.

How do you unwind? With MMA fights. For some reason I find watching grown men turn each other into burger meat very relaxing. I love that on Sunday I’m commanded from on high to take a break: self-obsession is an occupational hazard for every actor. Thinking beyond that, however briefly, is healthy.

Through lockdown? I’ve discovered hiking in California’s hills, which I didn’t enjoy so much in the mud and rain of England. And I’ve got to know my kids better, connected with my wife. Spending more time with my family than ever has been beautiful.

A Sunday sound? My mother’s loud, out-of-tune singing at church. She had this false notion that her voice was wonderful. It would carry on through lunch at home, except without the congregation to drown out her vocals. Anyone who tried to speak was refusing to celebrate the glory of her God-given talent.

Do you exercise? Through the week I’m in the gym an hour a day, but Sunday is my cheat day. I take time to carefully select a dessert: pummelling your body with all those calories has to be worth it. If I take my first bite and it doesn’t feel right, I’ll stop right away and search for another.

Sunday evening? My wife and I run a production company, so we’ll read over scripts. I’d like to switch off more – creativity can be born from boredom. With so many electronic devices and constant distraction I wonder what symphonies, novels and paintings we’ll miss out on because imaginations run wild less, and so don’t start creating.
