Having yet another brief pause in my “hectic” working day outside, I saw the one and only John Hurt walking by.
He of the exploding chest in the film “Alien”
He of the excellent “The Naked Civil Servant” (a role he will apparently be reprising soon)
And what was he doing. Well walking down the street obviously, but laden down with two very down to earth carrier bags full of various produce and goods. Just like any other person. Why do we think all actors lead such glamorous lives? Why does the thought of someone we have seen on the TV and the “silver screen” doing something so mundane as shopping for everyday stuff seem so odd?
Must just be me.
But as he walked past he saw me looking at him and glanced back at me a couple of times.
And as I was thinking “blimey! It’s John Hurt!” I could see him thinking “Blimey, if Francis Rossi shaved his head – that’s what he would look like!”
I nearly nutted the C*nt!
