Peter O’Toole is mental.

He was in last summer’s sandals and swordfighting movie Troy. And like most of us, he thought it was a lot of arse. Why? Here’s Peter to explain…

"I call it Trovis. After watching 50 minutes I found myself in despair, and suddenly that Hovis advert came into my mind over Brad Pitt’s face."

Talking to the Radio Times, he added "I got the chuckles and had to leave."

Hovis?                                                        

WHAT?

Did he watch some special extended directors cut where Brad Pitt had to push a bike up a big hill before he stabbed a man in the shoulder?

Or was O’Toole talking about the new Hovis adverts? Perhaps there was a long deleted scene where Orlando Bloom and Eric Bana sat on a sofa arguing about whether white or brown bread was better, in ridiculous northern accents.

Either way, they’d have have both improved the movie a million percent.

Peter O’Toole – we salute you! You barmy old loon.
