Off the Cuff

Spotted!: 16/09/01 I was with my London friends on Primrose Hill (where loads of actors live) watching families flying their kites. Alistair walked up the hill, holding a little boy in his arms and smiling.

As it was my first time there I am now convinced this is a typical occurence, and am looking out for Jude Law next time!

"I love wearing a kilt. There's a chemical reaction between the tartan and the skin that makes you feel like a warrior!" - Alistair

Most admired actors: Juliette Binoche and Steve McQueen.

Perfect day off: In bed with a pile of newspapers, followed by a long walk up a mountain, followed by a couple of pints of beer, then a bath.

Alistair is always logging on to the web and can type at 65wpm. So if you're reading this Alistair, hello!

The comedian Phil Kaye made Alistair laugh so hard that he got a hernia!
