I once offered Nigel Benn a fight. We where on holiday in tenerife and he was training their for his second Chris Eubank fight. I asked for a picture nose to nose with him. His reply was I only do that for a million. (It was when they still used pesatas) and my quick thinking pulled a 100 coin out and it has 1 mill written on it. He laughed and said ok to the picture. It's now on the wall in our spare room. Me with a big cheesy grin and him looking like he is going to kill me. Any one else? |

I gave Kevin Whately an acting suggestion on the set of New Tricks once which he promptly followed. 
(not sure if it made it into the final edit though)
I talked to Alan Armstrong who is a really nice guy but Dennis Waterman hid in his trailer away from "the little people".  |

Neil Oliver at a re-enactment event. Genuinely nice bloke with a quick, dry sense of humour, he had a great interest in what we were doing. Met him and Tony Pollard again six months later at another event and they were both easy-going and laid-back guys. |

I don't list all of my 'friends', though I can count Sandra Bullock as a platonic encounter for a few hours. I've been fortunate to have a few Hollywood A listers as people - all of them down to earth - who I am proud to know. Sandra is fantastic, so never miss the chance to spend time with her - she has no attitude either. |

Was in a hotel bar once and went to loo only to look across and see Ian Hunter (ex Mott the Hoople) also taking a leak.
I guess you could say I have hung out with a rock star!

bob dylan when he was making a film on the south wales coast. we were on a yts scheme planting trees at dunraven castle and we had to build a campfire for one of the scenes. the film crew gave me and my mates a tenner each for it. we got an early dart, so we went to the three golden cups pub in the village to buy beer with the money. as the landlord just finished pulling the pints, in walked Dylan. He payed for the beers out of his own pocket, bought us all food and loads more beers, whiskeys, played pool etc til all of a sudden it was closing time. the last bus left hours before leaving us stranded so he got us all in the limo and gave us a lift back to Bridgend .... top geezer .... but we couldn't understand a word of what he said lol |

Billy Bragg is an absolute gent, have met him a couple of times at gigs.
Various other music types, probably the most famous being Mick Jones of the Clash. Friends with a few that I won;t mention.
Probably the nicest guy in music is Frank Turner, always makes time for fans.
Met assorted Olympic/World champion cyclists and some of them are total and utter egotistical arseholes. |

Billy Connolly is very down to earth, I was chatting to him in a music shop in Liverpool back in the 90's, my parents went there to get some strings for a 12 string accoustic guitar. He was there and we got chatting to him. |

I went to a concert in Islington years ago. As I got to the bar I saw a bloke I thought I recognised. I went up to him and started chatting like we were old friends. Spent about half hour in his company. He said he had to go so we shook hands and I said I'll see you around. Then the band came on and I turned round and he was the lead singer. Neville Staples. |

Spent an evening with Anna friel, Eddie griffin, Angus Barnett and Philip Martin Brown among others at the driftwood spars in aggie after several wks of filming. Will be a night I never forget. So surreal but great fun. Would also bring my daughters over in the day and play with tallulah Pitt-Brown and her mum when they weren't shooting. Go out for picnics and show them some of Cornwall's beautiful sights.
