Some confusion with the lead paragraph

In the lead for the article it states that he began his professional career in 2001 on the stage. Shouldn't it be 2000 as this is when he landed his first professional acting roles, as minor as they may have been. Or is it stating this is when he began his professional career in theatre. If it is the latter it is a bit unclear and confusing, and why should it single out the beginning of his career on stage and not any other. I'd edit it myself but I'm unsure on the ins and outs of his early career. Just something I thought I'd point out, and thanks for any assistance on the matter. - Over Hill and Under Hill (talk • contribs) 15:022, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

I want to change the number of children. According to official figures, in January he had 3 boys with Sophie: Finn.

It was reported last year that they were expecting their third child but I don't see any reports of her giving birth to a third child from any reliable sources. If it can be confirmed by a reliable source then it will be added but not before. LADY LOTUS • TALK 15:53, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
