interesting story.....gary stretch saved an old dear from being mugged by a couple of thugs. he koed both of them. turns out the old dear was a powerful coasting agent or something in films. rest is hostory.....
I heard him say a few times that he had 88 Novice fights and won 80. He got the part in Scum due to the way he walked down some studio corridor, rolling his shoulders I bet.
not his fault it is his dad who is a bullshitter by the sounds of it, :hey or jonsey is winding us all up,
welll he was obviously a better boxer than he was an actor his daughter is ten times the thespian he is, at least she can actually put on different accents
His daughter? **** off mate Winstone's a decent actor who can't do accents that's all. Watch The War Zone & Nil By Mouth. Even Sexy Beast.
