Freeman even remembers the first outfit he bought with his own money. “I was 15,” he says, “and it was a Prince of Wales three-button mod jacket bought from a local mod shop.
“I had matching trousers from Oxfam, a Ben Sherman shirt, loafers from Hobbs and an umbrella. People used to ask me, ‘Why do you dress like that?’ They were genuinely puzzled.”
I cry at RSPCA commercials on the telly,” he said. “I think you just have to let it go.”
So it’s no surprise to discover that as a schoolboy he was deeply affected by a festive visit to the cinema.
He revealed: “I saw ET and it made me cry for weeks. I was almost too moved.
“I think I was paralysed with emotion. I thought about it for weeks.
“The last time I saw it on telly I cried. I was watching with my three year-old son Joe, who had never seen it before. He couldn’t take his eyes off it. It was moving seeing it through his eyes.

If I could get bands to come and play in my house, I’d like that. I’ve never been to a festival. I’m a creature of habit, mashed-potato comfort, I like rugs. Our sofa’s squishy. Maybe too squishy - it’s hard to get up sometimes.
