I'm viral this morning, apparently, though I feel fine. What to do with this 15 seconds of fame? Get you to enter the competition to win a set visit to The Fantastic Beasts sequel, obviously. It's literally the last day today so don't fanny around ... the link's in my bio. Click it ... You get one of these too-cool-for-school T-shirts for your contribution, but, more importantly, your entry money goes directly to helping children find and live in loving homes and have a chance of a decent life. What better antidote to all of our passive complicity in the hate-filled circus of the world than to put some tangible love back in the emptying pot? See you at the secret meetings of the t-shirt club ... #lumos

In fact, I would even have liked that, because it would have been an excuse to sit in a room and drug me and I would not have been judged. But the actor chose to take the path of sobriety, thus becoming a new man. At 57, he makes it a point of honor to "find simple happiness in simple things".
“I think what would have surprised my 16-year-old self was knowing that I'm fine today,” he concluded with a hint of self-mockery.
