avid merian

[plasticfang]

what is avid merian's real name

[jenstar]

Leigh Francis. Credit lists, me old fang.

[Stav's Back]

OK, to add to that, has anyone seen or heard an interview anywhere where he isnt Avid, just Leigh? Same with AliG. Anyone heard Sacha Baron Cohen talking as himself?

[ali_alic]

Why does he wear a neck brace - is it like Tommy Cooper's Fez - merely a prop?

[Stav's Back]

Yes its just a gimmick. He claims Liza Tarbuck punched him in the neck when he called her a man (or something like that)

[natalie_1982]

I've Sacha Baron-Cohen in interviews and in magazines when he is 'normal' with his missus. But I've never seen Avid Merian being himself/ Leigh.

[ludwig]

When he's being himself he's got a yorkshire accent. I think he's from Leeds.

[sylviak]

when he takes off mel b hes a cracker

[plasticfang]

he really is a genius - who read the credits - are there other writers??
