Bumped into Paul Whitehouse a while back, I work in a shopping centre and suddenly heard a voice behind me asking me If I could help find a car in our car park, turning around as done many times before to help customers, it was Paul, with his wife and daughter, in shock, and sort of hyperventilating (been a bit of a fan for years) had a little conversation whilst helping, you know, sort of "oh what brings you to this neck of the woods", i think he said something like shopping, lol a bit obvious, but got him to his car and he thanked me then his little girl said bye as I was walking away, I looked back he was holding her hand and was encouraging her to wave, thoroughly bloody nice bloke, did not ask for selfie or autograph as, did not want to intrude on his privacy.

I can imagine Paul being very down to earth in real life, his characters often have a loveable side to them. I'm with you on how to be with famous people- treat them as anyone else, it's too tiring to expect them to be "always on"- they're entitled to a life outside of celebrity. Though this is sometimes easier said than done if you're a bit awestruck!

[@johnricercato740]

Bless him. Paul was a bit shy with all the Hollywood stars - not that he needed to be as he is so fantastically talented - but Graham gave him a lift with the Bowie clip.

Paul is not just a great comedian but one of the finest actors who's ever lived. His performance as Rowley Birken QC reminiscing over his long lost love brought me to tears instantly the first time I saw it and the effect hasn't worn off since. Paul achieves such pathos with little more than looks and gestures, barely a comprehensible word but you know Rowley is suffering agonies. The great Johnny Depp, one of the finest actors of our generation said he thought Paul was the greatest actor who's ever lived and asked if he could have a guest slot on the Fast Show because he admires Paul so much. I also love the fishing series with Bob Mortimer. "DON'T wind in Bob!!!" "If I wind in will you strike me Paul?" "Oops, he's fallen over again already." "and awayyyy".

Paul first really came to light on the first Harry Enfield series where he played supporting characters and came across as maybe a bit of a side kick.

the attempts of cross-culture pollination are cringe. The Americans on the guest seat with Paul have no idea who he is, and they have to sit there and pretend that they're interested. It's always the same the other way around too. Brits get trotted out on to trashy American talk shows pretending they know some niche guests only the American audience really knows. At some point, we have to admit we're all embarrassed by this façade. The audience, the guests, the guest no other guest has heard of, and the presenter. But, maybe that's the point and I'm not in on the joke. Or then again, maybe it's a cheap way to make money from vapid content and equally empty audiences who watch it for no other fact than it has the smell of 'fun' and seems vaguely familiar (aka unchallenging).
