In this video he massages one of his pigs with his foot while drinking a glass of wine. Standard.

He also has bulls called James Nesbitt and Graham Norton, and pigs named after British actress Imogen Poots and Kiwi director Taika Waititi.

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