The 70-year-old actor admits the worst thing about filming his new upcoming drama was the early morning shoots, and claims he drank ten coffees a day in order to function whilst on set.

Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at the UK premiere of new movie at Leicester Square on Wednesday night (17.10.18) he said: "Getting up in the morning. I hate getting up any time before eight o'clock and they made me get up at half past five every single day.

"I always hated that but once I was up I was fine, after 10 coffees I was okay."

Although the 'Game of Thrones' actor wasn't a fan of waking up early, he still thinks playing Sir Robert VI de Brus in his new movie - which follows the 14th Century Scottish king - came with its perks, including horse riding and his "really good" co-stars.

He said: "I really like riding horses, working with really good actors so this was a perfect film for me."

Although the prestigious actor has appeared in many revered films such as 'Braveheart', 'Trainspotting' and 'Highlander', he tried his hand at reality television in 2017 when he entered the 'Celebrity Big Brother' House, but says he'll never do reality TV again.

He said: "Never. I wanted to see what it was like once and that was it. And it was horrible. I'm glad I did it now but I wouldn't do it again."

Previously speaking of why he decided to enter the house, he said: "Obviously there's financial things mainly.

"I also wanted to come in and be part of something that very few people experience. To be stuck in this room with 18 people to begin with."
