He said: “[I use the] bus and Tube every day using my coveted Oyster Freedom Pass, due to my vast vintage.”
Richard, nominated for Best Supporting Actor in drama Can You Ever Forgive Me?, added he would “offer free bus and Tube travel” if he were Mayor of the capital.
Discussing life in London with ES Magazine, the Swazi-English star said a cabbie once mistook him for Oz actor Geoffrey Rush, 67.
The Downton Abbey star added he would like to be buried, “As ashes in a fireworks rocket, aimed at the Moon, and ignited on Richmond Bridge, please.”
