But he plays a hero who has had enough of saving lives, and wants to quit the business.
He said: “I’m doing a voice for an animation film. It’s just something that they’ll enjoy. They’ll think Dad’s cool.
“I’m a superhero who wants out. I’m done.”
US television presenter Ann Curry asked him: “Is it autobiographical?”
He told American television’s The Today Show: “It’s really not. But it sounded good, didn’t it?
“It sounded like an angle.”
