I had the honour of meeting Brian at the theatre once. During the interval, he was sat there on his own, everyone in the bar just staring at him. I plucked up the courage... “Excuse me Mr Blessed, can I talk to y-“ “OF COURSE YOU CAN! SIT DOWN!” Suffice to say everyone else wandered over, and he sat there holding court. I don’t think I asked him one question, he just monologued for 15 minutes. Absolute legend, and gentleman.

It takes a special kind of talent to take the words "pompous", "loud", "crude" and "boorish" and turn them into lovable qualities.

I gained a lot of respect for that MP during the ‘poofs’ bit at the end there. As far as i can work out, he’s one of the only politicians who not only can take a joke, but also dish it out. Such as how he didn’t get upset about it, he just fired back.

Sir Brian Blessed does have a ring to it. Who would object to that?

An extraordinary life force and feature of British life for almost six decades.

A bit of trivia here- Brian once said in an interview that he takes his weights with him on trips and takes delight in when hotel staff offer to take his luggage for him. This in turn proved to be the inspiration for Neil Gaiman when creating _The Sandman_ character of Destruction, the "Prodigal" member of The Endless- A big imposing guy with a mischievous sense of humour.
