6 FOND-ISH MEMORIES

This is the model for the green scorpion that bit me in the 1980 film Flash Gordon, and it’s the most valuable piece of rubbish in the house – people in America collect a lot of memorabilia like this. I played Tree Boy, who has to thrust his hand into a tree stump where this evil creature is lurking. I got stung by it and dripped green blood, then got stabbed through the heart by Timothy Dalton, so I was only on screen for a few minutes.

there’s no new Bond film out this Christmas, instead my panto is on in cinemas – so it’s the revenge of Tree Boy in a way!
