In this video he massages one of his pigs with his foot while drinking a glass of wine. Standard.
Including lots of pictures of his animals, which are all named after his co-stars and famous friends
Here are Helena Bonham-Carter and Laura Dern, named for his co-stars in Sweet Revenge and Jurassic Park, respectively. Laura has been known to tweet Sam about her namesake:
He also has bulls called James Nesbitt and Graham Norton, and pigs named after British actress Imogen Poots and Kiwi director Taika Waititi.
He answers pressing fan questions

We’ve always wondered. Might ask him if he’s ever forgiven Phil Tippett.

No one but Sam Neill should be allowed use Twitter. He’s the only one using it for the proper reason: Maximum joy. <3 you, Dr Alan Grant.
