he's been working constantly though... if you look on his bio page

hf128219 · 16/04/2011 21:59

Well certainly prolific if you count his regular appearance in 'Lana Tomfoolery'

c0rns1lk · 16/04/2011 22:07

hf - who is it? You'll know.

hf128219 · 16/04/2011 22:08

Which one corn?

c0rns1lk · 16/04/2011 22:10

more than one!?

chipstick10 · 16/04/2011 22:11

The girl he is supposed to have done it with says he kissed like a virgin. Blush

ValiumBandwitch · 16/04/2011 22:11

not up on the footballer and what he did, but the actor is who bournville from popular itv period drama.

c0rns1lk · 16/04/2011 22:13

I have seen the links to this Bourneville guy but I still don't know who he is. Confused

ValiumBandwitch · 16/04/2011 22:20

did you ever see the film Iris with Kate Winslet. It was about Iris murdoch. Good film. That was the first thing I saw him in. I know he's been working constantly, but that's the only thing apart from DA that I can definitely remember that he was in. He is kind of........ bland!

c0rns1lk · 16/04/2011 22:21

no haven't seen that. Was he in the MATRIX?

hf128219 · 16/04/2011 22:22

French for a good town is Bonne Ville.

chipstick10 · 16/04/2011 22:30

Wasnt he in the dreadful film Notting Hill!!!

hf128219 · 16/04/2011 22:38

Bernie

WideWebWitch · 17/04/2011 11:33

Well it does seem as if his wife is his manager, is vair supportive, he tweets, hmm, maybe it is him. I really don't think of him as that famous though, oh well!

ValiumBandwitch · 17/04/2011 12:36

hf128219, so how did he convince a judge to forbid the media from reporting the story?

LoveBeingAbleToNamechange · 17/04/2011 13:19

Cam someone pm me please?

chicaguapa · 17/04/2011 13:28

So who's the other Man Utd footballer then? The one who had the foursomes and 'apparently' didn't really need the two girls there?

IWouldNotCouldNotWithAGoat · 17/04/2011 20:11

Do you need to ask?

ceebeegeebies · 17/04/2011 20:42

Do you really think so?? Hmm I hate those stories in the press that reveal interesting information but no names....so bloody infuriating!!!

kittya · 17/04/2011 20:42

you think so?

Nancy66 · 17/04/2011 20:57

said it before - but if you buy a paper where they are reporting an injunction and can't name the celebrity - there will always be some spurious story on said celebrity within a page or two....

ceebeegeebies · 17/04/2011 20:59

Nancy Wink got it.....I wonder what they have called their new baby girl??

kittya · 17/04/2011 21:12

I always love it when I read they used their local nhs hospital. So, Im afraid, he has gone up slightly for me. Just ever so. I hope he gaves those midwives some nice chocolates!

HazeltheMcWitch · 17/04/2011 23:37

Exactamundo nancy, exactamundo.

Like the time it was reported that a Royal had been (attempedly) blackmailed over an alleged sex scandal. The injunction was in place so the chap could not be named, but - look here! A random news report about Linley on a bicycle. NB bad example perhaps as he was genuinely exonerated.

To add to the few already mentioned in this thread's case, in yesterdays Mail's TV supplement, a review of Twenty Twelve focused on the problems in Hugh Bonneville's character's marriage, and made some joke about his wife being pixellated out. She wasn't, so I have no idea why such a joke would be made.

A bit like the Lovely Debbie McGee/Alsatian thing...

Bit0fFunnyBunny · 17/04/2011 23:55

Oh Hazel- now that you need to elaborate on!
