Leaving the house checklist: 1990 - Wallet, keys. 2000 - Wallet, keys, phone. 2010 - Wallet, keys, phone, charger. 2020- Wallet, keys, phone, charger, mask, hand sanitiser, a really, really good reason to do so.

Sentences I never thought I’d say but now I’m a dad of course I do #63: “And that’s why we don’t kiss ducks”

I didn’t know parenthood would involve listening to Black Lace’s Superman at 7:45am, but here we are.

It’s here! 🎉 It was great fun to lead on the design of the latest edition of InTouch - I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed putting it together.
🎉 Welcome to the new edition of our alumni magazine, 'InTouch'. Themed ‘Into the Future’, we learn how King’s research is building a better tomorrow today. We time travel, too, with TV producer Jane Tranter, who relaunched ‘Doctor Who’. loom.ly/0IAYQdA #ForeverKings🦁

‘I am always left with a feeling of utter incredulity when parents create inexplicably articulate quotes, and then suggest their young child came up with it on their own.’ - My son Ruri, 1.

Sorry to be nasty about children singing, but this is a truly terrible rendition of one of Queen’s finest songs.

Parents of the Internet - what is your favourite out of context thing you’ve said to your child this week? I’ll start (said to my 1 year old): ‘Sorry mate, I’m using science against you.’ @GeriAllenActor I’m sure you’ve got some corkers…

Very sad to hear the news of Bill Kenwright’s passing - it was thanks to him I got to do the show I always dreamed of doing. He gave me a chance when very few others would - I’ll always be grateful to him for taking a punt on me x

Do adult strangers say “bye bye” to each other? I’m so tired that I can’t remember, and want to know if I’ve just committed a social faux pas.

Yes, that’s me hanging off St Thomas’ hospital dressed as Shakespeare! A privilege and a thrill to abseil for the wonderful @EvelinaLondon - there’s still time to donate if you are able ❤️ fundraise.evelinacharity.org…
A big well done, and even bigger thank you, to everyone who braved the 160ft abseil for @GuysCancerC , @EvelinaLondon and @GSTTCharity this weekend. 👏 (Thanks also to Franklin, our 4 legged volunteer.🐶)

We did it! With two days to go I’ve reached my target 🎯 There’s still time to donate and help the wonderful @EvelinaLondon support even more children ❤️ fundraise.evelinacharity.org…
We can’t wait to see Shakespeare, aka Jonny, take on the St Thomas’ abseil next month. 🏥 Jonny is supporting @EvelinaLondon so that children, like his son Ruri, continue to receive the best possible care when they are born: fundraise.evelinacharity.org…

I was there when this was taken so I’ll do the honourable thing and not answer this one…
Quiz question! Where on campus would you find this bust? #ForeverKings🦁

Delighted to have handed this set of plays over to the lovely folks and @RandVManagement - now a new generation of actors can benefit from them as much as I did ❤️
Twitter! I have a bag of just over 50 play texts that I’d love to give away to a good home - if anyone knows of any drama school libraries/students/ recent playwright or actor grads who would benefit, I’ll pass them on.

A pleasure to be featured by this special hospital! If you have a few quid to spare, please consider supporting my abseil attempt for @EvelinaLondon x

It seems to me that parenting is knowing that every parent thinks their child is the cutest, whilst simultaneously harbouring the belief that your child actually is.
