Adrian Edmondson: People wanted to fight me
The comedian, actor, writer and musician chats to Danny and Lynsey Hipgrave about his career and his experiences of meeting famous people and the occasions people have met him.
He says that because celebrities are just “human beings” and not “gods” meeting them can often end in disappointment.
Adrian Edmondson has never sought to meet his idol David Bowie, but has met the star’s producer Tony Visconti.
He also reveals that during the 1980s people wanted to fight him simply because he played the punk psycho Vyvyan in The Young Ones.
