Willem Dafoe has revealed that he turned into a "gentleman farmer" during the Hollywood actors' strike.

The star had no work for almost four months last year when the SAG-AFTRA actors union staged a walkout over pay and conditions and Dafoe has revealed he used his downtime to focus on farming - tending to the animals at his estate in Italy and growing vegetables. "I love to work and it was longer than I like to go. Basically, I was a gentleman farmer. [I have] lots of animals [and a vegetable garden]. I do it just for the pleasure of their company."
