The capsule then dropped back down to Earth with the help of a parachute after a very short 10-minute journey.

In a recent interview, he told The Sunday Time his newfound opinion on the planet that we call home.

He continued: "I couldn’t help but think about the terrible burden that Clive, my two-year-old great-grandchild, is facing when he gets older."

The actor describes his experience as "the most profound experience I can imagine".
