The actor - who starred on the West End stage in 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' - loves visiting the UK capital, and says he finds Hollywood a "sad town."
He said: "I spend a lot of time in London, certainly. I love the people there. I love the theatre there. My kids are in Los Angeles but work seems to have been calling from across the pond.
"Hollywood can be an agenda-filled town, and there is a sad element to it."
Despite his dislike for Tinseltown, Christian insists there are some good people there, as well as selfish ones.
The actor - who is divorced from journalist Ryan Haddon with who he has two children, eight-year-old son Jaden and six-year-old daughter Eliana - said: "People can be selfish-minded in a certain regard. They really, really think of themselves, what they can get and what is in it for them. They don't always see the big picture.
"At the same time though, I have experienced other aspects. There are people in Hollywood who are good, decent upstanding humans."
