YOU try working a two minute walk from the theatre where he's performing for fifteen weeks (Harold Pinter/Uncle Vanya).... would I turn a corner and..BANG!.. collision!!..would I blush?..DEFINITELY.. would I even be able to speak?...NOOOOOOOO....would I see him across the street?.. along the road?.. WHAT would I do?..HIDE....add to THAT list of stomach churning scenarios, this:.. my company makes very expensive MENS attire
...AND on the MOST famous mens' clothing street in the WORLD..(Jermyn St, St. James')... HE'S a man..he buys CLOTHES...OH, the PRESSURE...LOADS of actors, singers, dancers, come to our shop when they're in the West End...OH, the PRESSURE.. my friend & I ACTUALLY had 'practice' sessions whereby we'd 'pretend' that one or other of us had seen him in the mens' shop...and was coming to tell the other the news... picture, if you will, two headless chickens running round each other in a heightened state of sheer PANIC...it caused our 20 male colleagues more hilarity than was good for them...I am eternally grateful that there's only ONE man on this planet whom induces that level of anxiety in me...😂🤣😂🤣❤️🇬🇧

He has the most divine voice. I'm convinced he could read the phone and we'd think it had been written by Shakespeare.
