Speaking to The Lady magazine, the 'Doctor Strange' star explained: "They scrimped and saved to get their only son the very best education possible. And I took that education threw it all in their face and became an actor anyway.
"To this day, one of the reasons I get out of bed in the morning is to make them proud of me."

He is set to star in Marvel's 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' in 2021.
