“I was thinking I’d made a horrible mistake,” Jeremy told the UK’s Express. “I’d missed out on university and even turned down drama school because I wanted to go my own way about it. I was thinking, ‘This wasn’t a very sensible decision.’”

We’re so glad he stuck with it! As for his fans, Jer said, “I don’t do social networking so I’m happy in my ignorance. But I get a lot of letters and I’m lucky that they’re always nice.”
