In the video, the popular actor also said that the Queen's demise reminded him of his father's passing a few years ago.

I'm so sorry, I know the pain like we all know the pain...what a life...what an impactful life. What an incredible life. When I lost my old man, I never had the chance to say goodbye to him. The way I look at death these days is it informs us of how we should live, moving forward, in their spirit...

From horse racing to football, to motorsport, to cricket, to golf and rugby, it is fair to say that the Queen was an active supporter and to some extent a participant in sports.
