In one interview, he said that many actors in Hollywood spend most of their time out of work. Hence, he decided to spend more time making furniture instead. Now, he is a carpenter. In his own words, “making furniture is better. In carpentry, there is no director and no script. Hence, the concept depends on him and he is free to use his creativity”.
