He explained that there was a nearby horse stable rental near his home in Montreal, Canada, which he would visit often: 'I remember going there all the time and having this sort of innate interest in riding, which I couldn't fulfill at the time because of the expense involved, he told Cowboys and Indians.
Adding: 'But I was just drawn there anyway - hanging around the rental stables without ever actually getting on a horse.'
Growing up, he would balance visiting the horse stables with acting and playing football.
