"The downside of being overt is you invite darkness. It only takes one person to cause real harm. That's not being paranoid. That's just facts."

"I will pose for you, and photos of me and my wife are fine, but if someone takes a photo of my kids, all bets are off. I will take the camera off you and beat the fucking shit out of you," he adds.

"What I'd like to do is produce. Write. Direct," he tells Esquire - and he is well on the way to making a career in it. He has formed a production company, Hardy Son & Baker, with his father and already made his first show, Taboo, which broke streaming records on the BBC last year.
