>>662 Oh, I think he was up for wearing the tank top and that proves he is cunning. Just not cunning enough to realise that it was going to make him look like a tool.

I do however think he is easily cunning enough to sell the sob story to his fan base. This whole interview is a leaf out of the TH playbook: the "authenticity", the impressions, the recycled anecdotes about the family, talking about Purity by Jonathan Frantzen (has he actually read any other books?), and the insistence on the bare faced lies about how they were "just acting normal, the photos were taken without consent" etc. He has added cooking to the repertoire of cliché, though. He was telling everyone about his spag bog at the BAFTA GG tea party.

And having her round to his house. He has never done that before for any interviewer. That said to me that this whole thing was a calculated publicity stunt. When a celeb "offers unprecedented access" it is 99% because they have a specific story to shill (all this to publicise Kong? I don't believe it for a second).
