“You’d have to not have a pulse to feel, at that point,” he continued, “to feel like, ‘No, none of this is happening, this is actually kind of a weird joke. You’ve been asleep for 35 years, so just let the weirdness commence.’ Of course, when you’re asked to resign from a film you’re doing, because of something that is merely a bunch of vowels and consonants floating in the air…Yeah, you feel a bit boycotted.”
But now, he added, “I don’t feel boycotted by Hollywood because I don’t think about it…I don’t have much further need for Hollywood myself.”
Residentially speaking, he’s been enjoying a mellow life in the English countryside. “I can go into shops without being surrounded by people wanting selfies,” he said in the April issue of Somerset Life. He clarified, “I don’t mind if people want an autograph or a brief chat, but not when I am having some private time with my family. British people are cool and will greet you as if you are a neighbor without going over the top.”
