  • One of the most unique gifts Adam has received is a sponsorship to an orphaned orangutan. His girlfriend gave it to him.

Quotes
  • "I find 'celebrityism' a bit of an obscure concept; idolising people who appear on film is a bit silly, really when you think about it. 'Ah, he speaks, therefore he's a hero'. People do more important jobs than acting in film that should be recognised, but for some reason it's big money, so people are elevated in status. If I was a bus driver, I'm sure you wouldn't be interviewing me. So the loss of anonymity does frighten me if it happens."
