During an interview with the Independent back in February 2016, the actor gushed about his family and their health care profession. Will’s father is a cardiology professor while his mother is a nurse; as is his sister.
Will said,
They all do far more important jobs than me and get a lot less attention and reward for it. Not that I could follow in their footsteps even if I wanted to – I didn’t exactly have a host of amazing science grades. I had nothing else going for me at school. I lived for my one lesson of drama a week.
The Black Mirror star who claims his fans recognize him more for his eyebrows than his work is no doubt as good a man as he is an actor.
