Interview: Leigh Francis, Comedian
Who would attend your fantasy dinner party?
Michael J Fox, Ferris Bueller, the Ghostbusters, Michael Jackson, Drew Barrymore, Winona Ryder and Jim Carrey.
Who did you last text? My wife, it said: "Thanks for bringing me to the airport. Will Skype you when I get to LA."
its not cool but....
When I was 11 I sold all my Star Wars figures. At 16 I started buying them back from car boot sales. I don't play with them, I just put them on a shelf and look at them.
What's the best piece of advice you've ever been given?
My Dad said: "Do your job, don't worry about what other people are doing."
What's the worst job you ever had?
McDonald's. I just hid in the loading bay.
Who is your favourite fictional character?
Spider-Man. I dressed up as him at my friend's son's birthday party. I felt like Elvis. Elvis that could spin webs.
Did you have a nickname growing up?
What was it and why? Leigh T, as I was a big ET fan and would ride around with a model of him on my BMX.
What makes you lose your temper?
Loads of things, although I try not to, it's a waste of energy.
What profession would you like to try?
Making props. I made The Bear in the first series of Bo' Selecta!.
What food or drink is always in your fridge?
White wine and crabsticks. Posh.
If you could change something about yourself, what would it be?
I'd have wings. I dream that I can fly.
If you could travel back in time, where would you go?
Childhood, it was brilliant.
Saturday night or Sunday morning?
Saturday night. Sunday hurts my head.
Who or what is the love of your life?
My wife Jill and my daughter Matilda, of course.
