Don't worry, he picks up bugs alarmingly easily. It's really quite freakish. He's the new Howard Hughes, opening doors with a handkerchief, burning his clothes once he's worn them. When we're finished filming, he's going to live in one of those bubbles that sick kids with no immune system live in.
He's the bubble boy!
Oh and Lovely Laura, hope you had a good 'un.
Haha! Says Birty who was the only one who managed to get a cold in a burning hot Cannes within two days of arriving. You're in no position to poke fun, you're the most unhealthy man on the planet with your chip and red meat exclusive diet
What is freakish is your fear of lettuce and the anger it instills in you should you find it on your burger. The Birty burger and chips diet, it's legendary. If I'm bubble boy, then you're burger boy.
For your info I get less or the same amount of colds per year than the national average which is supposed to be 3. Last year I caught two, including one at Christmas. This year I've gotten to mid-April despite working in what amounts to a doctors waiting room. One lad's gone down with TB. Fair enough I don't like having them and try to avoid them like a man living in the era of the bubonic plague but that's different. I could go into the medical reasons why I don't like to get colds as I really do suffer when I get one, but it'd only give you more reasons to poke fun of my misfortune.
When I do get ill it's only because I'm up till all hours making your performances look okay, I average about 4 hours sleep per night.
