  • I remember reading somewhere that

    during a press release of that dancing show he does, he spent about an hour reading out all the times that the BBC had beaten ITV in the ratings with his show..

    So yeah, he probably is a bit of a dick.

    • Saw him on Alan Carr's Chatty Man and he seemed kind of menacing

      as though he resented Carr for being young

  • I reckon he's a nazi war criminal hiding in plain sight.

  • I can imagine he talks really fast and slobbers a little bit when angry

    maybe points a lot, too

  • Wasn't there a Louie THeroux style follow-doc in which they followed Bruce bragging and golfing his way around empty, lonesome and waning days spent on some spanish sun spot resort?

    Jawstheshark | 19 Mar '13, 16:19 | X
    • Yeah, not sure Theroux was involved though

      He washsed his socks and shirts in the sink as he was very particular about how it should be done. He was quite detailed in how a wet shirt should be hung (hanged?) too, iirc. Seemed alright to me.

      • I think he seemed like a tragic figure, destined to perform his signature 'nice-to-see-you' pose to ever dwindling and less receptive ex-pats until one day his call is left hanging, mournfully, never to be answered again.

        This was pre strictly though.

  • he didn't come out as a pedo during the pedo scandle

    which is surprising because he's got the chin for it

  • He's an old-school professional entertainer

    and I don't think that he's got a lot of time for amateurs (or rather professionals who don't take it as seriously as he does). One of his early catchphrases was "I'm in charge!" and he wasn't actually joking.

    Silentcommand | 19 Mar '13, 16:40 | X
  • he's a dickhead

    gonad | 19 Mar '13, 16:41 | X
  • I like him

    but I think I'm only pretending to like him to annoy my dad. He's actually pretty awful.

    zxcvbnm- | 19 Mar '13, 16:42 | X
    • *Bruce is awful not my dad, though he has his moments.

  • I've never understood his apparent prowess with the ladies.

    Can anyone explain that?

    drakepress | 19 Mar '13, 16:42 | X
    • I think it just means he was successful with a lot of ladies

      Do you need further clarification?

      • I don't know from first hand experience like the others but

        my friend used to work with him sometimes and said he was a horrible little rotter

        Scout @untrue | 19 Mar '13, 17:02 | X
        • I can also independently verify this.

          He was a guest at a wedding I attended, and yeah, he was a complete cunt.

          • How?

            untrue @SarcasticFringehead | 19 Mar '13, 20:52 | X
            • Pervy, paralytic, self-important wanker.

              Probably like most people off the telly though.

              • I actually fell for his lovable little grandad shtick

  • Friend of a friend has worked behind the scenes on a lot of TV shows

    Says he's an unbearable racist

  • I think Derek & Clive left us an early clue of Bruce's true character.
