Sir Derek Jacobi believes he would have been much more successful if he'd "had the looks" to match his talent.
The 87-year-old actor has been a regular on stage and screen since the 1960s - appearing in blockbusters such as 2000 film Gladiator and its 2024 sequel - but Derek is adamant he wanted to be a fully-fledged "movie star" and he is convinced he never landed typical leading man roles because of his appearance.
