The actor says, “The first time I went diving it was an experience very difficult to articulate. I never realised how caught up I’ve been in my own world. Being underwater changed something insideme. I realised that on the same planet we inhabit, there’s an entire world that we know nothing of! And that we humans are only tiny little ants in the grand scheme of things. It’s unbelievably humbling. It’s my go to place to destress, to introspect and to come back refreshed. I am very protective of the ocean and it feels very sad to see the ocean polluted. So I try my best to try and protect it.”
