If he had been called Jim Smith he'd have got far less press

I remember you saying you’d met him before and that you said he definitely wasn’t as funny in real life. I was going to ask you to elaborate but forgot.

Elaborate. I know you like to spin a yarn.

Edit: just watched the McFeast interview. Never heard of her before. That’s a funny woman! Was she big in Australia?

Yes i did meet him a few times , , he was a mate of a freind of mine , he could tell a yarn and be funny has buggery , , BUT there was always a thing about him , where to me anyway he made you a bit uncofortable , Dunno i had the feeling a lot was an act , but yet he could turn at any time , and unlike someone like say Sykes , who was just a bully , you knew this guy was a nutcase , , I could'nt really elaborate without making things up , i only met him , i wAS'NT ON HIS INNER CIRCLE . but facts are he was probably bullshitting a lot , but you were still talking to a guy who was violent and had spent most his life in prison , really what you see in the videos he made, was him , he was stupid for doing all the time he did , but clever enough to play the cameras ,,, Not really a fella i would of been comfortable coming round my house

Elle Mcfeast she was popular in her day , but you don't hear of her much nowadays , that interview though , i'd say only in Australia , what did make me laugh was the guy Alan Jones , saying you should'nt give jailbirds television time , talk about kettle /pot

Eric Bana absolutely nails it in the film. He’s so like him in every way when you see the real Chopper.

Bana nailed one side of him the side that come out when the cameras were there , Example , my wife met him only once ,, when we left she said , i don't like that man , she senced he was nasty and dangerous and siad he frightens the life out of me , he's a nasty horrible peice of work , , yet when she see's interviews with him like most she laughs , and says he's funny ,

Another film you may want to watch , its a great film and really nails it is Once were warriors ,,, Got a lot of maori mates and after watching it , i said to them , they did'nt need to pay actors , they could of just come round and filmed you lot ,,, couple said , ya pommy bastards , don't know wether to agree or be insulted LOL , lucky were mates and they can take a joke , cos there all big fella's

Once he had a drink the guy was unstoppable, like a Duracell bunny on speed wanting to fight anyone, including me.

He was at the infamous Rooftop Gardens in the early 90's and kicked off on the dancefloor with some meat heads. Total destruction of half a dozen lads before the bouncers managed to drag him to the back exit.

Never liked getting a drink on with him as he could snap in an instant. Lovely guy when sober, religious gentle type. Some blokes are not made for drink.

Great movie.

A lot of Islander lads are made for hard physical contact, they love it. Drink or no drink. Worked with a fair few in Oz and NZ, Fijian, Samoan and Tongan. Would fight about anything.

Can be rough lads the islanders , , wealth of untapped talent there , them Tongan and Samoan boys , especielly , used to work on the doors with a few of them , never seen anyone they could'nt handle , even some of the more notorious bikie groups , would behave where they were .
