I am 47 but I still have a full head of hair: I am very grateful to my mother's side of the family, as they've all got quite thick hair and I think that's why I've still got some.
I have had a moustache and goatee for 10 years. When Ewan (McGregor) and I did Long Way Round together, we were camping so much that shaving was sporadic and I started experimenting with facial hair. I was diagnosed with testicular cancer four years ago – they caught it early and I am clear now, but as I had my own brush with cancer, I got involved with Movember. I have a permanent moustache so I can be a "Movator": I take random telephone numbers and ring people up and "movate" them to grow moustaches.
I am very close to my dad (the film-maker John Boorman) and I see him in my own face. There is a photograph of us on the set of The General, a film he made in 1998; the two of us are walking along and at a distance we look incredibly similar. We've both got slightly rounded shoulders and pointy noses.
I am 5ft 9in – pretty average – and I would like to lose a stone or so. My new regime is to waterski three days a week at Thorpe Park, which is really fun. Hopefully, I will end up being an OK waterskier as well as getting fit. Apart from my weight, I wouldn't change anything about the way I look: you've got what you've got – make the most of it!
