“Yeah, totally faked my way into that one; poor Jennifer, as she slowly realized how ill-educated I was,” he joked to PEOPLE in anexclusive chat back in 2021. “She’s much better read than me. I just sound like it because of the English accent, that’s all.”
“Marriage and children changed my life,” revealed theKnight’s Taleactor. “Itreally altered who I wasand what I saw as my goals.”
Now the moments that mean the most to the actor are “when I catch myself and realize the five of us are laughing together,” he said. “And there is nobody on Earth with whom I could be having a better time.”
