Brian Blessed's booty as a metal guru
BRIAN BLESSED was on exuberant form at Metal Hammer magazine’s Golden God Awards in London this week.
The actor and adventurer, who was being awarded the Spirit Of Hammer award by the heavy metal publication, arrived in a suit and huge climbing boots , explaining: “I climbed Everest three times in these boots and I also used them when I went to the magnetic North Pole, which of course contains metal. So I thought as this is a metal event I should wear them.”
We also hear that he thoroughly enjoyed appearing in front of a room full of rockers including Motorhead to collect his award, saying: “Going on stage was one of the most humbling experiences of my life, the crowd just shouting, ‘Brian! Brian!’ over and over again –I’ve never heard anything like it. It was amazing.”
