He was also involved in the new movie as both an executive producer and stunt driver, and in an exclusive interview with RadioTimes.com ahead of the release, he explained how being on set allowed him to sneak a couple of Easter eggs into the film.

"There's a lot of things in the movie that only I and my immediate circle know - because there's a lot of Easter eggs," he revealed.

"So of course, there's photos in there of me, real photos with those cars at the start and also at the end.

"So I asked Neill [Blomkamp, director] please could you put these in there? And he did my helmet – again, those were my helmet colours that Archie [Madekwe, star] is wearing.

"So, for someone to wear your colours, it's such a… that's the only thing in motorsports a racing driver you're able to customise, the only thing. So to have my colours in there – I'm very happy!”
