i'll start

I used to have a speech impediment when i was younger and had to have speech therapy, I used to drop the first letter or two off a word.

I have broken 7 bones in my body and dislocated my knee 4 times (pretty much all from football - still play (badly) though!)

A few years back. I had to say one word and punch someone. Best days 'work' ever. Sat next to Gary Lucy in make-up when he was having his eyebrows plucked or whatever and I was getting lipstick and all sorts applied. He didnt even look at me.

I once lived with a tribe in the Sierra Madre of Mexico by accident - it all went a bit Apocalypse Now.

lol thats class.

On a similar note theres a bollywood film somewhere out there featuring me in the background...quite often.

Also featuring college crew in the background of a bar fight in a pub (in the same film) having a round of guinness, aswell as skinning up and smoking a doob or two at a table. Got paid for it too :lol:

...I used to be able to swim like, really fast if that counts?

£100 for doing it on the day and another £100 when it was shown. I would have got less but as I said one word it put me in the highest tier for extra work. It took about 7 hours in total and even got to have a sneaky spliff on the set. Wouldnt mind doing that every day.

i know a few people who've appeared as extras in films and also starring in ads in Thailand and India - quite a good way to make some cash when you're travelling.

Nar he wasnt in it for that long. All my mates at the time were glad I punched him cos apparently he was a twat in the program, but he was genuinely the nicest person there. Cant remember names unforunately.
