His accent is what you get when raised by your Jamaican mother in England, then move to Canada.

I remember Kellerman telling him:
Lennox, there are 2 persistent rumors about you. That you're gay and that you smoke weed.

Lennox answered with a smile:
I'm definitely not gay.

and now has a beautiful child Landan with his wife Violet Chang..worked out alright for him didnt it? Multi millionaire, fit wife, nice kid, retired pre 40 with his brains in tact.
Not sure you can criticise Lennox as a man and champ he stood out as a man of intellect and intregrity amongst a sea of piss and detritus.

His mother used to prep his food so she lived with him more than anything rather than the other way around. Or we gonan go dowen the same old gay jibes that proved fruitless and hearsay?

No crime in looking after your own mate.


For the record Lewis considers himself as a resident of the earth in line with rastafarian beliefs not of any one country. (source Mama's boy - Gavin Evans 2004).
