Personal Life
Crook and his wife Lindsay, a former advertising executive, reside in the North London suburb of Muswell Hill, in a semi-detached house formerly belonging to Peter Sellers.
Crook and his wife were married in April 2001, and have a son, Jude Michael, born 17 January 2003, and a daughter, Scout Elizabeth, born 24 December 2007.
As a teenager, he inherited a rare breeding pair of Mediterranean spur-thighed tortoises, leading to his hobby of breeding chelonians. In January 2010 on the Andrew Marr Show, Crook revealed that he himself provides the tortoises used in his new play 'Jerusalem', taking them from his own herd.
A committed conservationist, Crook purchased eight acres of Essex woodland in 2008, to create his own private nature reserve. In an interview with the BBC he denied claims made on Wikipedia that he was a Green Party of England and Wales activist.
