The other, In the Heights, is a Latin- and hip-hop-flavored love letter to the Hispanic neighborhood of Washington Heights in upper Manhattan.

He embarked on a career in the British army proclaiming his intention to be treated just like any other soldier - and demonstrating a noticeable flair for the vernacular of the common man. "There's no way I'm going to put myself through [the military academy] Sandhurst and then sit on my arse back home while my boys are out fighting for their country," he said in a 2006 interview. He added: "I do enjoy running down a ditch full of mud, firing...
