During this heatwave a bit of light relief.
In person, who’s the ultimate definition of ‘cool’ you’ve met in your life?
I will kick off with a funeral in Arundel in 1998, which was attended by the late Peter O’Toole.
He’d previously turned up at the Church a week early by mistake and merely said to the Lady Churchwarden “No worries young lady, I’ve never been to Arundel so I will go for a stroll, and see you in a weeks time”
At the service by then 66, and clearly having knocked the a*** out of life, he looked immaculate, his suit clearly from Saville Row, at the end of the service once out of the Church he lit up a Gauloise Cigarette with an old fashioned cigarette holder, there must have been 300 people there but he just stuck out.
The family, thespians themselves, introduced me to him the graveside and I got to shake his hand.
A real Gentleman and IMHO the definition of cool.
