The 50-year-old actor was involved in establishing the Youth Homeless Helpline, a free service open through the night and on weekends, where trained volunteers provide support and advice on where to find access to safe temporary accommodation.
The actor revealed that the key to bringing the project to life was listening to the needs of those on the streets.
Speaking to ITV news, he said: "It's been two years since we got together with a group of young people who had gone through homelessness and we said to them 'You're the experts, you tell us what you need when you're in your situation with nowhere to go and no one to help you', and they were the ones who came up with the idea."
In July 2016, young people in the UK were supported by a range of youth homeless charities with a petition calling for an out-of-hours service, and the 'Underworld' star insisted that the helpline shows how young people who have faced adversity can turn their lives around "with the right sort of support".
He continued: "Everyone goes through a crisis at some point in their lives it doesn't matter who you are or what your circumstances are we all go through different times and we need support. The most vulnerable, the most in need of help, to see them being able to get a petition going and come up with the idea of putting pressure on politicians in Westminster and get the support.
"It shows what they can do with right sort of support. They can do something that is gonna change countless people's lives."
