Sir Patrick Stewart confesses he relies on cannabis spray to keep his hands working
The 76-year-old stars as an older and weaker version of the X-men founder Charles Xavier in the next Wolverine instalment Logan and he spoke out about ageing when quizzed in a new interview.
Patrick explained: "I'm reflecting on ageing anyway, it didn't take Logan to make me think about that. I think about it everyday. Not all the time. I'm not brooding on it, but I've come to a point where the numbers are against you. Physical things [make me feel old].
"You get to an age where you go to the doctor, you tell him how old you are and he just shrugs his shoulders and says: 'Oh, is that it?'"
The actor went on to say that he struggles to use his hands now, so relies on cannabis.
Patrick revealed: "I mean, my main problem is my hands don't work very well. But thanks to cannabis they work much better than they used to.
"Thanks to the law in California now, it's just a spray that I put on," he added to British Esquire.
