Where’s the most exotic location you’ve ever travelled to for a movie?
When I did The Deer Hunter I flew up to northern Thailand and we shot scenes on the River Kwai. Back then, more than 40 years ago, it was so different to the way it is today: it had a lovely tropical mystery about it.
Barbuda
Barbuda is a small island located in the eastern Caribbean forming part of the sovereign Commonwealth nation of Antigua and Barbuda. It is located north of the Antigua Island and is part of the Leeward Islands of the West Indies. Antigua and Barbuda gained full independence on 1 November 1981 as a constitutional monarchy within the Commonwealth of Nations. The island is a popular tourist destination because of its moderate climate and coastline. Historically, most of Barbuda's 1,638 residents have lived in the town of Codrington. However, in September 2017, Hurricane Irma damaged or destroyed 95% of the island's buildings and infrastructure and as a result, all the island's inhabitants were evacuated to Antigua, leaving Barbuda empty for the first time in modern history.

We had all these spots lined up and a route planned – but I kept thinking about Barbuda. About 30 years beforehand, I’d stayed at Jumby Bay in Antigua and had taken a day trip over to Barbuda and I always remembered it.
