An actor who appeared in Harry Potter and Star Wars films has admitted to exposing himself at an Ingoldmells arcade – while dressed as a jockey.
Nicholas Read, 48, was caught on CCTV walking up to a 2p machine before pulling his white trousers down and exposing himself.
The bizarre stunt happened as a drunken Read was in an arcade at Ingoldmells, Lincolnshire, on March 2 for a stag weekend.
A member of staff approached Read, who was still standing by the machine with his trousers down, and asked him to leave.
Read, of Cheadle, Stoke-on-Trent, admitted a charge of outraging public decency when he appeared at Lincoln Magistrates Court on Friday March 29.
The court heard Read claimed he was so drunk he thought the arcade machine was a urinal.
The 4ft 5ins actor played a Gringotts goblin in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and an Ewok in Star Wars.
Read was handed a 12-month community order and given a curfew from 7pm until 7am for six months.
He was also ordered to pay court costs of £85 and an £85 victim surcharge.
In an awkward moment at the end of the hearing, Read was asked to stand for sentencing, to which he replied: "I am.", reports Lincolnshire Live.
Presiding magistrate Jenny Frere-Cook said: "You are going to be made the subject of a 12 month community order.
"As well you will be given a curfew between the hours of 7am to 7pm for six months.
"On top there is a fee of £85 for cost and a £85 victim surcharge.
"In total that is £170 which must be paid with next 28 days.
"That is all, you are free to go Mr Read."
