He became a vegetarian in 1974 after seeing a stockyard in Texas and experiencing the "smell, terror and anxiety." He became an ethical vegan while playing the character of Farmer Hoggett in the movie Babe in 1995. He frequently speaks out on issues regarding animal cruelty for PETA, largely the treatment of pigs. Cromwell was married to Anne Ulvestad from 1976 to 1986. They had three children. He married his second wife, Julie Cobb, on May 29, 1986.

For years, James Howlett wandered the world trying to find some purpose in his life, but nothing seemed to be able to distance him from what he learned to do - kill. Between wars, travel and work, his path takes him into the sinister and brutal Weapon X Program, as part of a group under the command of the ruthless William Stryker. Not the life he would like, but in his mind, perhaps the one he deserves - but to what extent? Receiving an unlikely new impulse, he will have to confront his past as much as his adversaries in his quest to end this vicious cycle. This is the story of his rise, and fall - and how he rose back. Divided into 8 episodes, the series is set 12 years before the events of Children of the Atom.
