What was it like to film alongside Johnny Depp and Christian Bale?
It’s the kind of thing that you dream of when you’re starting off being an actor when you’re younger. It was just such a great thing to do. Johnny’s a lovely man, he’s a top man. And believe it or not, Christian Bale is absolutely hilarious. I thought he was a top fella, a really nice fella. It’s good to just be involved with that. You said Christian Bale was hilarious. So there was no flying off the handle on set when you were around? No, not at all. Not with me at all. He was just so lovely. He’s just such a top fella. He does a fantastic David Bellamy impression. They’re the kind of things that you dream of doing. It’s great to be hanging off the side of a car shooting a tommy gun pretending to be Baby Face Nelson. Occupation starts on BBC One at 9pm on Tuesday 16 June.
