Thats just weird, where did my message go???

Anyway here it is....Did anyone else see the tall geeky guy from 'The Office' at the aftershow party on Sat 25th?

My mate wanted to go up to him and do the David Brent dance but I convinced her not to as he probably gets that so much it just would'nt be funny!

I did, he walked past me in the queue to the aftershow....so now my whole D list celeb count goes up to 2...i saw Chesney Hawks the other week too...gosh

LOL Michelle...I'm sick of your endless D list spotting!! lol

I dind't, sadly... But did anyone else see - there was someone being escorted out quite unceremoniously from the front row, on the arms of two big strong security lads. What was that all about? does anyone know? Was he being naughty - or being sick, or something?

Oh yeah i remember that.... apparently he was taking video, and when the security came forward everyone around him pointed him out!! Maceo was giving him the evil eye as well....quite funy actually.

bungle said:

Haha, yeah he is tall is'nt he but so am I, I'm 6"1! I also noticed he had huge feet and was wearing converse, thought he'd being wearing the boxes though unless converse made them especially!

TheCherryRoom said:

Oh, ok, that would explain it. I saw the people pointing him out too. Actually, at first I thought those people had maybe spotted Prince in the adjacent room and were motioning him to come out to the stage! Like, "Get over here to the mic!" I thought that was very funny at the time! (Not so funny anymore when I saw this guy being escorted out..)

He's not completely D list. If it's the guy I think you're on about then he's also been in each of the pirates of the caribbean films.

TheCherryRoom said:

nope he had pushed to the front and was shouting about how he had payed 25 pounds to see prince and not the NPG and much more delightful stuff including holding one finger up to the band as he was escorted out (i cleaned up what he was saying inset the swear words as you please)

He MUST play Prince if he does!

Steven Merchant Interview - March 2007:

Extras star Stephen Merchant wants pint-sized singer Prince to appear in the final episode of the BBC2 show.

Merchant and comedy partner Ricky Gervais are planning a Christmas special.

Each episode features a celebrity cameo - Robert De Niro, Kate Winslet and David Bowie are among the previous guest stars.

Merchant told radio station Heart: "There's almost certainly going to be a Christmas special. Ricky's on tour at the moment so we haven't even begun to sit down to write it and talk about it.

"I don't know if we'll go for him but I'd love to get Prince. I'm such a Prince fan. I don't know what he's doing as we speak - is he lying in some sort of purple hammock just strumming on a guitar, being fed cherries? I have no concept.

Does he unload the dishwasher? Does he have a pair of slippers? I don't know anything about Prince.

"I would love that idea and me being six foot seven and Prince being, whatever he is, four foot one, would be comic enough."

He added: "Ricky is very useful because he's the only one who can persuade celebrities to take part. I've got no contacts whatsoever, I thought by now I'd have loads of celebrity pals."

Merchant joked about his last brush with celebrity: "I took my parents to The Ivy because I thought it'd be nice, they'd come all the way from Bristol. I'd only been there twice before and once Michael Parkinson was in there.

"I thought, if my parents see Parky, they won't believe their luck. It's their anniversary, so I take them in there and the only celebrity in there is Nadia from Big Brother.

"My Dad didn't know who she was, I had to explain. He spurted his soup out, it was so embarrassing and Nadia looked round with her giant hands."
