If you're a fan of The Trip, you'll know that Rob Brydon and Coogan go way back. Their food tours of Italy and the UK have brought the pair closer together than ever, although apparently they rub each other up the wrong way sometimes. Coogan told Interviewmagazine: "I discovered him, and that sounds really, really pretentious, but I did. He sent me a videotape of his work. He was very, very good. He did some monologues for my company and we did them on the BBC, and then he did a TV series for me. And then he suddenly got this new career. And then he became very successful and turned on his creator, like Frankenstein" Still, they're great friends, and the two only ever have good things to say about each other. Thank god, because else those trips to all those fancy restaurants could get very awkward very quickly.
I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
