Mr T ... 'I ain't getting on no plane'
Swaddle yourself in gold-effect chains, now, and dig that seductive green neck they give you. It's time to welcome back Mr T - the only person in America who has had the same hairstyle longer than Anna Wintour.
Lost in Showbiz last spotted Mr T advertising high security locks - slogan: "I pity the fool who tries to copy this key!" - but it seems the erstwhile A Team star's talents do not end there. He has just been unveiled as the new hero of a graphic novel.
"What would I say to anyone who doesn't read my graphic novel?" he asks (and you may be on the point of divining the answer). "I pity the fool!"
As for what's brought this on, you'd assume Mr T had simply been locked in a shed whose only contents were everything he needed to write a graphic novel, whereupon he had been forced to assemble just such a work in which to make his escape.
But it seems the opus is in fact the brainchild of British author Christopher Bunting, who explains: "We've seen comebacks happen over and over again in the entertainment industry, whether it's John Travolta, the Spice Girls, or characters such as Indiana Jones or Rambo. Now it's Mr T's time."
Let's wish him all the best with that prediction. However, should Mr T ever be required to fly over here on some kind of transatlantic promotional tour, Christopher is advised its success will depend upon his laying in a supply of tranquiliser-laced hamburgers.
