(Very) modern manners

NO STRANGER to flights of fantasy, Lord Of The Rings director Peter Jackson says he ‘seriously considered’ wiping his mind with hypnosis after working on the franchise for so long. So much so that he even spoke to an expert about doing just that. ‘I did talk to Derren Brown about it and he thought he could do it,’ says the 60-year-old filmmaker, when all Jackson wanted to do after finishing the £2.5 billion grossing adventure trilogy was see ‘a hypnotherapy guy’ who could ‘make me forget about the work I’d done over the last six or seven years’. Thankfully, sense prevailed and the Oscar-winner kept his

Hobbit habit.
