On my Twitter page, I describe myself as an international sex symbol and bodybuilder; I live in?a?world of illusion.
I have blue eyes and what is left of my hair is grey. I used to be a dark-haired fella. I used to wear a wig, but then I'd see these older guys wearing them and think, it really doesn't suit you any more. So, over a two-year period, I had my wigs made thinner and thinner, and I?wore them farther and farther back. And when I took off the wig for good, nobody noticed. I do miss it in the winter, though – it kept me warm.
You get a lot of caricature artists in my game. My toilet is full of cartoons I've collected over the years, where they've used me in political satire and stuff like that. When they draw me, they seem to triangulate my head so it's wider at the top. I do take a very large hat size – the brain has got to have space.
I am 75, but I don't feel old – my mum is 97 next month.
I am fit, mostly because I avoid all?forms of exercise. Tomorrow I?will be opening a fair in my Bunco Booth outfit, which I had made more than ?20 years ago. I?am still working?like hell, and most nights I?walk back and forth on stage for two hours, cracking gags. When I?do?charity golfing days, I?have noticed that all the people who are?really decrepit and who have dodgy?knees and hip replacements are footballers. So?I?think I've got it?right.
