The Four Weddings and a Funeral star admitted he did not support independence at the time of the Scottish referendum but said the Brexit vote had changed his position. He said: “I wasn’t particularly happy with the idea of Scotland breaking up from the rest of the UK, however, under these circumstances, I would have no doubt in saying the Scottish people should pursue their own interests and stay attached to Europe and have self-governance as an independent country.

He added: “If ever there was a country that should be one country it’s Ireland, isn’t it?”
