  I had multiple friends who dressed like him and used his affectations during his peak popularity in the noughties. No SA’s though fortunately.

  Looking back it was pretty much like a license to act more camp in public.

    I never understood his appeal. He’s just vulgar. It’s not funny. His assurance in a couple otherwise good movies really ruins it.

      Easier to say with hindsight, there is literally a gif of him flashing people on a red carpet event but no one batted an eyelid at the time.
