I spent some time yesterday helping a friend to make a short film. I played the villain of the piece, which was great fun, although this did entail me standing outside the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden clutching a white teddy bear dressed as a ballerina (the bear, not me). We certainly managed to attract some attention, and it felt rather odd to have tourists taking photographs of us. We’re finishing the rest of my part next weekend, so I have that to look forward to.
