Reservoir Dogs star Tim Roth has made the shocking revelation that he was abused as a child.
The Brit actor opened up in an interview with the Daily Mail newsaper and revealed he had been abused from his childhood into his early teens but insists the abuser was not his mum or his dad.
Roth said: “I’m a victim of child abuse. It happened during my childhood up to my early teens and although I’m not going to say who it was, he’s long gone now – and I hasten to add it wasn’t my father or mother.
“Things happen to you in your life but you don’t want to consider yourself to be a victim – you want to be a survivor, and the first thing that helps you do that and helps you get through it is speaking and finding your voice.
“I’d been wanting to direct a film for years and told my agent to start looking for a script.
“The first one that came through the door was the one for The War Zone.
“If you are a survivor of abuse and you get the opportunity to tell a story about that subject, then you can really get in there and tell the truth.
“It was a fantastic chance for me to exorcise a lot of demons. I’m very proud of the film and proud of the fact that it’s even been used as a teaching tool.”
