4. His trophy cabinet boasts a Best Actor award
Sir Tom is the proud owner of many a musical prize – but did you know he once won best actor at the Golden Globes?
The singer picked up the gong at the 1970 ceremony in the best actor in a TV musical or comedy category, for his show This Is Tom Jones.
He’s also appeared – as himself – in a number of TV programmes and films, including Mars Attacks!, Fresh Prince of Bel Air and The Simpsons, and has even turned his hand to acting, playing Dick Turpin in an episode of 1980s TV show Fantasy Island.
