"I have sacrificed my personal life to be where I am as an actor. My relationships have suffered." The Jungle Book star also opened up about his childhood and how he felt at the birth of his son. Here are the highlights...<br /><br />    On his earliest memory:<br />    I lived in a two-bedroom flat in Cedar Court in Hackney, London. It was a high-rise – they’ve knocked most of them down now – and my mum would come in every morning and say, ‘Oh, it’s a bit stuffy in here’ – always, always. And I remember being woken up with the sound of the blinds getting pulled back and the window being opened and the sunlight flooding in.<br /><br />    On who he was as a child:<br />    Shy, eager to please, skinny. I remember walking into school on the very first day and one of the kids sang out, ‘Feed the world... let them know it’s Christmas-time!’ And everyone cracked up. My first day! Me and this kid ended up having a fight, although he is now my best friend – but that’s how skinny I was. Also, for one term I was sent to this school for kids with disabilities – my disability was asthma. I learned a lot there – how to deal with different people and develop different skills. It was there that my personality opened and grew.<br /><br />    When did you last feel really happy?<br />    When my son Winston was born. And watching the magic that is childbirth. Of course I was there. Did I feel like a spare part? Nah, but I don’t want to talk about it.<br /><br />    On the worse thing ever said to him:<br />    I was told once that I could never be loved because I don’t love myself. That hurt my feelings.<br /><br />    What has been your biggest achievement?<br />    My career – because every job I ever got I had to fight for. I’m an odd, tall, black man that doesn’t quite fit in. And here I am 25 years later in what I consider to be a very well-rounded career.<br /><br />    ... and your biggest disappointment?<br />    My personal life. I sacrificed it to be where I am as an actor. So my relationships have suffered.<br /><br />    What is your worst character trait?<br />    I’m lazy. I procrastinate awfully. There’s always so many things I’m supposed to be doing – for example when I was shooting No Good Deed in Atlanta and preparing to play Nelson Mandela by reading his autobiography, Long Walk To Freedom. Straight after that I had an album to put out. So I am always saying; ‘I’ll do it, I’ll get to it…’<br /><br />    Who would your dream dinner date be?<br />    Mandela, that would be great – it would be nice to understand what made him laugh, what made him relax. I’d love to have dinner with him and just observe him be himself. I would also have the late rapper Biggie Smalls: he was really good at putting words together, so it would be great to understand how he sounds when he’s speaking. I would love to hear what he thinks about hip-hop at the moment.<br /><br />    What are you scared of?<br />    You know The Truman Show [The Jim Carrey film where he is unknowingly on camera 24/7 for a reality TV show]? I’m really scared I’m going to wake up one day and that’s what’s been going on with my life.<br /><br />    Which living person do you despise and why?<br />    Nobody – not even Liam Gallagher. We had a moment of clowning, after the NME Awards, about my hat. But it was never anything more than that.<br /><br />    What is your most treasured possession?<br />    My vinyl. I’ve got this seven-inch I’ve had since when I was about 12 of D.I.S.C.O. by Ottawan. I remember that moment of having my own record and having my own DJ set in my room. That was monumental. So that piece of vinyl means a lot.<br /><br />    What are you scared of?<br />    You know The Truman Show [The Jim Carrey film where he is unknowingly on camera 24/7 for a reality TV show]? I’m really scared I’m going to wake up one day and that’s what’s been going on with my life.<br /><br />    Which living person do you despise and why?<br />    Nobody – not even Liam Gallagher.

So that piece of vinyl means a lot.<br /><br />    What one law would you change if you could?<br />    I would definitely change the law on random gun-holding in America. Nobody should be allowed to have those big guns willy-nilly.<br /><br />    What do you believe in?<br />    I believe that what you put out is what you get back.<br /><br />    What is the most extravagant thing you’ve ever bought?<br />    I bought a 1500 Dodge Ram, on my first pay cheque off The Wire. It was humungous – a beautiful thing to look at, a head-turner. When The Wire was in limbo, after we’d done the pilot – we didn’t know whether it was going to go to a series – I just went out and spent the money. It was a good three, four months before they said, ‘Yeah, we’re going to do 12 more.’ And that was like winning the lottery.<br /><br />    Which words or phrases do you most overuse?<br />    ‘Transparency.’<br /><br />    If you could edit your past what would you change?<br />    ‘Miami.’<br />
