As the eldest of seven children, his siblings are actor Joseph Fiennes; Martha Fiennes, a director (in her film Onegin, Ralph played the title role); Magnus Fiennes, a composer; Sophie Fiennes, a filmmaker; and Jacob Fiennes, a conservationist. His foster brother, Michael Emery, is an archaeologist. Oh, and his nephew Hero Fiennes-Tiffinplayed Tom Riddle, young Lord Voldemort, in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
