"I remember growing up with Super Mario, where the graphics were outdated at the time, but that's how it was back in the day," he told M6. "It's crazy to see how far it has come – it's insane."

"I loved it, it was an incredible experience. I'm incredibly honoured to be part of this game – I grew up playing it."
