What Are Julian Sands’ Hobbies?

While he is reticent to discuss his family life, Julian is passionate about his love of mountain climbing. In the same interview with The Guardian, he was asked about the place where he is the happiest and replied, “Close to a mountain summit on a glorious cold morning.” He added that his “greatest fear” was “inactivity, immobility, ill health and boredom.”

Julian shared that the top item on his bucket list was climbing “a remote peak in the high Himalayas, such as Makalu.” He revealed that the closest he ever came to death was “in the early 90s, in the Andes, caught in an atrocious storm above 20,000 feet with three others.”

“We were all in a very bad way. Some guys close to us perished. We were lucky,” he added,

The Gotham star spoke of his love of nature in a 2015 interview with USA Today. “I spend a lot of time outdoors, mountain-climbing. To ignore it is really imbecilic,” he explained.
