"I'd be much more willing to accept sagging tits if, say, I suddenly acquired X-ray vision."
Today's title is taken from Elvira Kurt. It came to mind while I was watching the Top Gear interview with Michael Gambon, who was recounting his time in the '60s when Cubby Broccoli was considering him for the role of James Bond. Michael replied to him, "I can't be James Bond. I've got tits, and I'm going bald."
"But so does Sean Connery."
Apparently, they can get around the he-tits problem by packing the actor's chest with ice, which will temporarily firm them up into the image of virility.
The real reason I'm posting this: Michael Gambon is my hero. He tells lies to interviewers who drive him nuts; hilarity ensues.
"I was being interviewed after I did Oscar, and the reporter asked me, 'Was it a difficult role?' I told him, 'No, it was one of the easiest I've done.' He said, 'Even with the homosexuality?' And that really irritated me, so told him, 'Well, I used to be one. I was forced out of it, though.' And there he was, diligently copying all this down, and with wide eyes, he asked, 'Why?' I told him, 'It made my eyes water.'"
