At 74, Sir Patrick Stewart is on fire. Best known for the "Star Trek" and "X-Men" franchises, the British gentleman is still drawing fans in droves, whether it be to Broadway — where he recently performed in repertoire with pal Sir Ian McKellen — or to Twitter, where he posts sly quips and photos.
But next, he delves into "Match," in theaters Friday. The film, an adaptation of a 2004 Broadway play which earned Frank Langella a Tony nod, stars Stewart as Tobi Powell, a dance teacher with a mysterious past.
The Post sat down with the local legend — a Park Slope resident — to talk hoarding, counting carbs and more.

Q: It sounds like production on this had a rough start.
A: We were all set to go — I mean, we were days from production — and we lost not one, but two of the actors. I couldn't make the movie on my own. I did suggest that I could maybe put on a wig.
Q: In "Match," your character, Tobi, collects his own fingernails. What's the weirdest thing you collect?
A: Oh, I'm a great hoarder. I hoard little bits of food. Yesterday I discovered that my wife [singer Sunny Ozell, 36] had thrown something out of the fridge that wasn't used up.
Q: And for a moment, I was really cross. It was one of those big things of apple juice. She said, "It had been in there awhile, I just thought we should throw it out."
A: I will squeeze the last drops of milk out of a carton, even though they might have gone [bad]. But that's partly a social thing. I grew up quite poor and you didn't throw food out, ever.
Q: Tobi watches his carbs. Do you?
A: I do. It comes in waves, but I'm a few weeks away from starting shooting this new TV series, and I'm very happy with my body, and I want to keep it right where it is now. Increasingly, research is proving exercise doesn't just keep you alive, it keeps your brain alert. Exercise fights off so much bad s–t.
Q: That TV show is the upcoming Starz comedy "Blunt Talk," in which you play a British cable news host looking to set American society straight. Seth MacFarlane is an executive producer — safe to assume it's dirty?
A: Is it crude? It's bold [grins]. It is taking some risks. It's sexually quite bold. And [my] character, Walter Blunt, is a good newsman, but eccentric.
Q: He tells Americans how they should live and think, right?
A: Yeah, he believes he's on a mission, and it is to put America back on the right path. The problem is he's not American, he's English. And we all know some of the trouble that Piers Morgan ran into…
Q: So what advice do you have for Americans, yourself?
A: Where do you want to start? [Laughs.]
