Indeed he certainly dined on two walnuts and a black pudding everyday during filming.

And just think, Jennifer Connelly was only just 16 then. Poor girl!!!

Tiggers no!!!!

[Abdulmajid]

I am afraid 34 years is right.

Bowie loves a good steak. Medium rare I am led to believe.

Well done.

[bravejordy]

I think it's 10.

[bigmamma]

Well done 34years :-) x

[Abdulmajid]

I am afraid 10 is true.

Bowie was in New York playing The Elephant Man at the time.

[bravejordy]

Erm... Can I change that to 9? lol

[yinyang]

I didn't know she was so young. Explains why she had a permanently startled expression on her face.

I think number 2 is the made up fact.

[34years]

he gave the answer away when he told everyone that he had eaten black puddings

[Postdog]

Well I'm bored now, so I just had a glimpse on wiki, and I reckon it's the brother one cos there is no brother mentioned. Found out that he is a bar steward tho - never knew that!

[Abdulmajid]
